no, it means that *you* cannot reach the network.

No, it means that an ICMP package could not be sent to the destination. Furthermore you get the result that the entire network can't be reached. If you want to know if a mailserver is online and reachable I suggest you use "telnet hostname 25". When the server is online you will get the smtp banner of the server. If you have a residential ip it is possible that your provider does not allow you to connect to port 25 of any host unless it is the mailserver of your provider. -- Sandy List replies only please!

I can receive and this was sent via another smtp from myrealbox.
No, what it means is that you cannot reach the server for whatever reason. It's the same situation as when you try to go to the store and find a road closed. Does that mean the store is closed? Or only that you can't get to it? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Or you're simply knocking at the wrong door. (^-^) It it entirely possible that the server will not answer to ICMP queries but is available on port 25. -- Sandy List replies only please!

No, "Network is unreachable" is a routing problem, which indicates the path is not available. In that situation, you couldn't reach any host on that network If the host wasn't responding, you'd get a message that the destination host was unreachable. . -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
