Yes, usually my first test during network hookups. Its just such a |
| 11 |
natural thing to ping outside for testing resolv.conf, that its quite |
| 12 |
aggravating every time I forget which machine I'm on and try it from |
| 13 |
the one where it won't work. |

Not only can I ping the router... but I can connect with tcp to |
| 16 |
anything I want to on the internet. |

Its just that I can't ping the internet. So its something I can live |
| 19 |
with for the most part but every so often the ingrained habit of ping |
| 20 |
testing something outside will cause me some aggravation. |

That would seem to indicate some sort of icmp blocking but again, I |
| 23 |
can not see any evidence of that on the router. |
