Re: Can't ping

[Helge Stenström (KI/EAB) <helge.stenstrom@ericsson.com>]

I can ping by IP machines on the same subnet (or at least
attached to the same switch on my desk). I can't ping other
machines, such as 66.249.93.99 (www.google.com) 
or 147.214.214.11 (one of my nameservers) 

hendrik@topoi.pooq.com helped me understand that `route` is slow because
there is no response from the nameserver, but `route -n` is quick, 
because there is no need for a nameserver. So routing seems to work OK.

I still have no idea what is broken, and how to repair it.
