Well, i have the default listed as one address, and then a local starting with 10. But when i ping both of them, i get ping: sendto: permission denied I also cannot telnet to an IP address directly. What could be causing this? jcm On Wed, 29 Sep 1999, Barry Irwin wrote: |On Tue 1999-09-28 (21:38), J McKitrick wrote: |> Any idea why ping won't even work? | |could be routing problems I've seen this before. | |try a netstat -rn to show the routing tables.
