Just a quick question on ping. I was playing around with ping the other 
day.I have three boxes, SunOSon a 3/60 at 192.168.0.3, fbsd at 192.168.0.2 
and a win95 on 192.168.0.1

When I do a ping from the fbsd or sun machine on address, 192.168.0 or 
192.168.0.255 I only get returns from the localhost I ping from and the 
other unix machine, the 95 box stays quiet.

Not that I care as a ping to 192.168.0.1 works, but I just find it 
curious why the 95 machine doesnt respond to a broadcast ping?

output from a ping on the fbsd box:

--- 192.168.0 ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, +8 duplicates, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 1.264/2.394/7.189 ms

I get the exact same results when using 192.168.0.255.
