While to trying to figure out why my local cable company whos offering
net access, has such flaky service, i ran across this output of ping and
cannot figure out WHY it's doing these things. Anyone have an answer?

cypress: {12}ping -v idtswe1

76 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): Destination Port Unreachable
Vr HL TOS  Len   ID Flg  off TTL Pro  cks      Src      Dst Data
 4  5  00 4400 a758   0 0000  40  11 0024 127.0.0.1  127.0.0.1
UDP: from port 1254, to port 512 (decimal)

First question is WHY is it showing a packet with a src and dst address as
127.0.0.1? im not pinging loopback.

64 bytes from 206.101.232.98: icmp_seq=19 ttl=252 time=61.4 ms

Correct IP address of idtswe1

Whoa hello where did you come from.
I think debian linux is broke :)
