Ping Problem in Redhat 9
I have a redhat linux box networked with a windows xp box through a router. I can share internet access on both computers . When I ping from Linux to the windows box, the linux keeps sending packets after packets and it wont stop. This happens even when I ping the linux box. But if I ping from windows to linux this doesnt happen. The window box pings a few packets and gives me the info. Any idea what is causing this.
Thanks

the basic design of the different OS'ss'ss. Each has a different ping program and therefor acts differently.
try a man ping for other useful ping switches.
-
ping -c <count> hostname/ip
Example:
ping -c 3 localhost
djserz.com.ar

That seems odd to me. Everyone always seems to have a problem pinging the other computer to get it to respond and not the problem that I am having.
I thought that a configuration problem was the cause of my troubles.
I'll run the man command and see what happens.

another option i like is -A this is an addaptive ping and each ping will get faster and faster as the responces go...
-a includes a beep.

I want to thank everyone who helped me out with this problem, I was able to get it to work.
Thanks
