Yes, I think we all came to the same conclusion. From now on, everyone should ping www.microsoft.com to test connectivity. :)
They outsmarted us already in Redmond, sadly. vivienm@quartz:~$ ping -s www.microsoft.com PING www.microsoft.com: 56 data bytes ^C ----www.microsoft.com PING Statistics---- 19 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss There are a few other organizations that fit your criteria, though, methinks... some of whom allow ICMP just fine and provide things that are slightly more vital than microsoft.com :) Vivien -- Vivien M. vivienm@dyndns.org Assistant System Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
