I tried ping -n and got the same results as a regular ping (both to a URL and an IP)... no replies back.
Okay. (the -n bit was just to switch off dns lookups).
traceroute -n did produce results... a lot of lines with *'s and various IPs.
Can you post some of the output perhaps?
Will do. I was going to post last night but I was not 100% certain that the results were during the outage... I want to test over more than one outage - not a problem since it happens fairly frequently. I have to wait until I'm home though... not sure I'll get valid results over a VNC connection.
Is it possible that the dropped ICMPs could be a result of some misconfig on my end? I know little about ICMPs (I'm reading up on it though).
It is possible, but you said you got something through with the traceroute, so I think it's happening elsewhere.
Yes, I am pretty certain the traceroute -n gave usable results... but I want to test a few more times to get a more accurate sample. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
