Basically, I thought that perhaps my problem with my idiotic typo caused
every other IP beyond it to not respond to pings. However there is only
one box on any of the IPs beyond the PM3 in question. The PM3 is at
206.190.23.216 and I have a colo server on 206.190.23.231 thru
254(delegated a 0/24). The customer complains that he cannot ping
206.190.23.231, which is where the unit is located. I thought perhaps I
had goofed somthing in my router, and lost 206.190.23.216 thru 254,
however it was the typo. Anyway, the only thing I can figure is that the
customer has not configured his TCP/IP stack correctly? Anyway the colo
server is running both Primary and Secondary DNS, with 3rd.beethoven.net
on 206.190.23.231 and 9th.beethoven.net on 206.190.23.254. I cannot
seem to ping any of these IPs, yet nslookup of 3rd.beethoven.net returns
the 206.190.23.231 address. However if I nslookup 206.190.23.231 I get
host not found. I'm lost, all I can think of is that TCP/IP stack on the
customers machine. (I have not looked at that yet)

I hope this is less confusing... I like the rest of you , don't get much
sleep..

Thanx again..
