Hello Jeffrey,
Thanks, indeed it was an issue of having libresolv library I copied libresolve to /usr/lib when building the ramdisk and ping works now. BTW, is there a something equivalent to ldd in powerpc world, so one can find out which shared library an executable is linked with? I have 8xx environment from MontaVista and I don't see ppc_8xx-ldd /Subodh Nijsure > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffrey D.
