I am having a similar problem on my machine since upgrading (err, updating <grin>) from 2.1.6 to 2.2. I thought it was just something I did wrong in the update procedure and dismissed it as such, but if others are having similar problems, maybe it needs to be looked into. :-) My problem, however, extends much farther than just ping. Telnet and ftp are affected as well. I fixed the same problem that occurred with my installed ports leftover from my 2.1.6 install, such as ircii and ncftp2, by compiling a "fakelib" of sorts found in the source tree (forgot its exact name) which ALSO helped ftp/ping/telnet/etc. for some reason? However, I didn't think any such problems should have affected something like ping/ftp/telnet since they were compiled to run with any new changes in 2.2 to begin with. :/ I'm not going to say there is a real problem with my system until I finally wipe everthing and do a fresh start with 2.2.1 (or whatever happens to be the latest RELEASE when I do so). Cheers, Chris Dillon
