OK, but is NATing configured the same way for both Linux & MS Windows |
| 11 |
machines? |

Does your router give you the option to log outgoing packets, or monitor them |
| 18 |
in real time? |

That's how it should be if you want your Linux box to respond to pings. |

Have you tried going back to basics: unplug the MSWindows box from your |
| 36 |
router and plug your Linux box in the same port to see if you can ping |
| 37 |
internet addresses. |

|
| 39 |
Can you ping the IP address of ftp.ucsb.edu; i.e. 128.111.24.43 (although I |
| 40 |
would expect that if your linux had DSN problems you wouldn't be able to |
| 41 |
browse from it altogether. |

What does traceroute show and how does this compare with traceroute -T? |
