Ping the broadcast address: [bill@pikachu bill]$ ping 194.42.226.175 Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b [bill@pikachu bill]$ ping -b 194.42.226.175 WARNING: pinging broadcast address PING 194.42.226.175 (194.42.226.175) from 194.42.226.170 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 194.42.226.170: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.180 ms 64 bytes from 194.42.226.171: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.809 ms (DUP!) 64 bytes from 194.42.226.170: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.072 ms 64 bytes from 194.42.226.171: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.379 ms (DUP!) --- 194.42.226.175 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, +2 duplicates, 0% loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.072/0.360/0.809/0.281 ms So you'd want to do "ping -b 125.125.125.255" or whatever the real IP network number is. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
