I could ping some hosts, but not all of them on the net it was attached to. It was very odd. The solution was to revert a couple setting to default. One was the "Ethernet Encapsulation Transform" which had been set to 802.1H and was reverted to RFC1042. The other one was turning off some Cisco specific extensions. I'd also note that you probably don't want to disable Short Preamble. It's the default and works just fine here. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
