The sysadmin is trying to contact the maintainer of the local router i dial into. When i call the ISP router directly (a lucent router) i have no problems. But when i call into a Ziplink router (local to my calling area the connection hangs mysteriously as soon as i attempt any data transfer. I tried this experiment: I connected and started ping. All is good. Then i telnet into my shell account. By the time the PINE screen is displayed, actually by the time it gets to the menu at the bottom of the screen, it hangs. So does ping. If i start ping and try netscape, it loads about 1K then hangs as well. SO does ping. If i *just* start ping, and nothing else, ping keeps running without any apparent problems. Any ideas? We're stumped. -=> jm <=- Please CC me on all replies ------------------------------------------------------- "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly."
