The 'ping' command sent an ICMP 'echo request' packet. It received two (or more) replies. The second (and on) replies will marked as duplicates. If you are pinging a broadcast address, or some kind of load-balancer setup, this is normal. If you were intending to ping a unicast host, you've got problems in your network. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
