If the proxy has some Firewall functionality it is likely not to let ICMP= =20 thru. =3D=3D no ping reply. Or maybe your ISP doesn=B4t? Pinging isn=B4t a= =20 reliable method of verification, when you aren=B4t sure of the network=20 arcitecture. (just set up a router which needed EIGRP to be able to ping=20 hosts on other networks.. hmm..) Is there any type of service that will run thru the proxy? have you tried= =20 ftp or telneting to it? Have a word with the admin. good luck /John On Mon, 10 May 1999, Jonathan E.
