Also, ICMP (ping, tracerout, etc) is one of the lowest priories in
the TCP/IP protocol set. If you don't get a response from ping, all
it really means is the host you pinged did not respond. And it could
not respond for a number of reasons - down, or even too busy <g>.
Sorry for the off topic post. :-)
