How can you ping from a DOS prompt if the destination is crossing a repeater with a speed mismatch? A FastEthernet-only hub won't allow comms between 10Mb/s devices, so if you wouldn't have any visibility to that device, whether from a DOS prompt, Hyperterminal, or anything...

[7:56619] I do understand the basics -- but I'm not able to ping anything from hyperterminal -- (1) the router, (2) the PC -- but I am able to ping the router from DOS. My problem arose when I was unable to "copy flash tftp" I tried by process of elimination to id the problem -- and it seemed to be hyperterminal. However, in the past few moments, someone else wrote to me and inquired about my hub (10/100 or 100!) -- mine is 100 only. Thus, the routers (at 10) would not communicate. I'm going to try and swap out the hub and see if this helps. I'm not a 100% certain that this will fix the problem -- but I'm going to try it and see. One never knows. Be back in a few . . . .
