Final piece to the puzzle. When I put up a sniffer, the AS/400 doesn't even make a peep on the network during the ping. When I ping internally, I see two ARP broadcast packets from what I assume is my AS/400, followed by a response from what I assume is my router. After that, there are a bunch of ICMP echos and replies. When I ping an unconfigured address in the net, there are a whole bunch of ARP broadcasts, but of course no replies. And when I ping an address NOT in the subnet, there isn't even a peep on the ether - not even an ARP broadcast. So how about THEM apples, eh? > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com > [mailto:owner-midrange-l@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Joe Pluta > Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 9:57 PM > To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > Subject: RE: Grumble... > > > And just to clarify - the AS/400 successfully pings 10.1.1.17 > (the internal > address of the router).
