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?
