You cannot look at ping results in isolation. Its like taking temprature and declaring you have malaria or asking in the estate if somebody else has high fever. Look at other symptoms like traceroute results and utilisation of your link or errors on ur local interface. On 07/11/2009, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
