Nothing like embarrasing myself in public. :-( It's good for your complexion. Egg on the face, that is :). Unfortunately I do have a problem. I can not ping the outside world! The best I can do is a traceroute. And even that very, very slowly. Also it reports something like 1999.xx ms for each host along the way. n669:~$ ping -c 3 tele.gate PING tele.gate (194.134.128.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 194.134.128.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=32.9 ms 64 bytes from 194.134.128.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=23.5 ms 64 bytes from 194.134.128.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=24.6 ms --- tele.gate ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 23.5/27.0/32.9 ms Are the results from the Linux host the FreeBSD box is to replace. It gives no replies at all, ending in host not available. I have been monitoring the CATV network I'm on for some 2 years or so and have no intention of stopping. Hence I need the ping to work. For good measure I disabled the ICMP_BANDLIN option but to no avail. I've also tested it with kernel.GENERIC with like results. Anybody any ideas? Roelof -- Home is where the (@) http://eboa.com/ is.
