Well, when I ping my localhost, I got this message :

==================================================================
root@hurd:~# ping -c 3 localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=30.000 ms

(the first time=30.000ms is just because it's the first time I
start ping. With a second ping, that become : time=0.000ms)


When I try to ping a host on the net, I got this message : 

==================================================================

I have trying the same thing under linux, and that works fine.
Here, it seems that it can't make a link between the modem and
the sockets (but maybe I'm wrong).

Well, of course, if I can do something to make it works under
The Hurd, I'll be happy to do that.
But : 1: I'm not sure if I know how to do.
      2: I have not find the file src/hurd/pfinet/tunnel.c and even
        if I find it, I'm not sure I can do something with it.


So, if you see another thing I can try, please, tell me.
But I think I'm going to studdy the Hurd to understand a bit more
what I can do.


Thanks a lot for your works.
