I can confirm that OS X also implements an ICMP restriction (net.inet.icmp.icmplim) which similarly limits responses (default is 250), and would account for the OP's results when testing toward the PowerBook. As for my response to Bill Fumerola, his snotty response was completely uncalled for, and if you treat people like that you should expect the same in return. No apology there. KeS
