Re: [gentoo-user] the problem with ping
Hmm. Works now after a reboot. I'm running kde 3.2 beta 1, so it might have been something with that. Thanks for the response.

Nope, unless you think the method that 'ping' on Windows works is "correct". On Windows, it pings (4) times and stops. On *nix, I don't know how many times it will ping before it stops. If you want it to ping 'x' number of times, use 'ping -c X site', where 'X' is the number of times you want it to ping. You could also create an alias that makes ping only ping "x" number of times instead of having to specify it each time. Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
