What? Next you will say that "ping google.com" is not an acceptable way to check if one's network isn't working. Another interesting thing that I have noted of late is that Tata Indicom silently drops pings (to, say google.com) if the ping interval is large, i.e., ping -i 10 google.com will work, but ping -i 15 google.com will just sit there, and never respond. Why would someone do that? _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
