I've noticed you stated this MANY times now with no further
explanation...

On 2.1.122 P90 UP:
I ping localhost OR any of my own eth0:x addresses and I get the 766
received.
I ping anyone else and I get wonderful results:

# ping -f xxx.xxx.xxx.1
PING xxx.xxx.xxx.1 (xxx.xxx.xxx.1): 56 data bytes
.
--- xxx.xxx.xxx.1 ping statistics ---
1419 packets transmitted, 1418 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.8/0.9/6.5 ms

Please explain what version of net-tools I require to fix this or why
it is only broken after 2.1.119 I believe the version is... I get 0
errors on my 2.1.105 UP box (486DX4/120) with the same version of
net-tools :

# versions
-- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or looks
-- unusual then possibly you have very old versions)
Linux waterloo 2.1.122 #1 Fri Sep 18 16:27:25 EDT 1998 i586 unknown
Kernel modules found
Gnu C 2.7.2.3

Procps 1.2.7
Mount 2.7l
Net-tools (1998-03-02)
Kbd 0.94
Sh-utils 1.16

(1998-03-02 is 1.45 I believe)

Thanks,
Andrew
