[OLUG] routing problems (Was: failures)

[Nathan Brown]

Again i do not know if this is going to be readable if it is not i will re
work it again .  but this is the result of
netstat -r while connected to my isp (radiks.net )

I don't know what the criteria are for pinging results to be successful but
it seems to me that the only thing in can ping is 127.0.0.0 ,  no names at
all .  when i ping with numbers i get the return that i sent packets but that
they were lost .... when i ping with name i get no anwere at all
sounds like the only pinging i can do is myself .
thanks
nate
