RE: [SLE] SuSE/Linux Ping vs DOS Ping

All I can think of is that there must be some minor difference between SuSE pings (or perhaps Linux pings in general) and DOS/Win pings that doesn't matter to most networks, but *does* matter for some reason to this piece of industrial hardware. Thoughts?

I have noticed that some routers drops UDP data grams resulting in lost information during Linux ping and traceroute requests. These lost packets didn't occur with the DOS equivalents of the same commands. The manufacture of the router sent me a beta firmware that resolved the problem. Possibly, your equipment is also dropping UDP data grams. ~James
