Okay, I'll be the first to stick his neck out. I think the problem is that
Host A is running Windows 2000. =) Okay, just kidding. I've been having
problems with it lately, so I felt like bashing it a bit.
Actually, it sounds like Host A might be on a separate hub partition or VLAN
than Hosts B and C, so a normal ping would never go to the router and
therefore fail. When the broadcast ping is used, it goes to the router and
is passed on.

Subject: A challenge
Here is an interesting challenge, that may not be so obvious to some of
you.
You were told to configure a network as follows:
10.1.1.1/8 router
10.1.1.2/8 hostA gw 10.1.1.1
10.1.1.3/8 hostB gw 10.1.1.1
10.1.1.4/8 hostC gw 10.1.1.1
hostA cannot ping hostB or hostC. hostB and hostC have no problem pinging
eachother however, but cannot ping hostA.
hostA does get a reply however from all hosts if it pings 10.1.1.255.
What do you suppose the problem is?
I'll let you know when someone posts the right answer.
Brian
