I /do/ recall a thread in the last year or two here where we discovered a small but significant difference between Linux and M$ "ping" ... one being accepted and the other ignored, causing great consternation to the OP.
This may not be the case here, but forewarned is forearmed. I think /usr/sbin/mtr was the solution.

The ping issue between Windows vs Linux is the size of the ICMP packet. I believe a router (in that thread a while back) was refusing Linux pings, based on the size. As far as I know, this would only affect equipment requiring Windows based pings. A ping to a normal router should return as expected regardless of the OS. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
