Pinging or telneting to other hosts did not work. However, flood pinging (ping -f) worked. While flood pinging another host, is was possible to talk to other machines. Stop the flood ping and silence. It seems like a driver problem that only allows packets through if there are some already queued. Anybody have a patch for this bug? Eoin McLeod eoin@mclprism.co.uk
