Here's the description of my problem: doing a ping to any machine on the network just times out...i.e. ping assumes the remote host is down. I'm using IP's and not names, so i know that it's not just a DNS problem. Pinging my machine's IP address or localhost works, and gives ping times of about 1.5ms. Doing an ifconfig -a shows that my NIC is configured and up: bash-2.02# ifconfig -a ie0: flags=8c43 mtu 1500 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.255 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx so the NIC is properly configured and up. If I do a netstat -r, it takes about 3 minutes (this machine is a 386-16 w/ 8MB RAM), which would seem to be REALLY long. The routing tables look okay though...the default route is my router, it saw my nameserver and itself... It looks like there's something wrong with my routing tables, so what is my next step? Do I regenerate them somehow? Any help is greatly appreciated.
