If the proxy has some Firewall functionality it is likely not to let ICMP thru. == no ping reply. Or maybe your ISP doesnīt? Pinging isnīt a reliable method of verification, when you arenīt sure of the network arcitecture. (just set up a router which needed EIGRP to be able to ping hosts on other networks.. hmm..) Is there any type of service that will run thru the proxy? have you tried ftp or telneting to it? Have a word with the admin. good luck /John On Mon, 10 May 1999, Jonathan E.
