I think I've confused things here. 10.2.1.7 is the IP address of the laptop. It's not going out over the wire. 10.2.1.1 was the remote host I was trying. > > > I don't know what the broadcast ping proves though, and when I try to > > ping a remote host, or from another box try to ping my laptop it doesn't > > work.

I'm at a different site today, but plugging into the same make/model switch, and everything's working fine. I'm currently running up2date quite happily. I would now suspect the switch I was using yesterday except that my dual-boot laptop was working fine yesterday in Windows. Anyone got any ideas on why this would be, and how I can fix it - other than replacing the switch. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
