Here's an item for a rainy day when you are bored and want something to
do!
For some time I had noticed that the ping command did not aways work.
Successive pings to a node in a short period of time, seconds between
each ping, would not get an answer. After some longer period of time, I
would get a ping response. Tonight I was able to log into the next node
in a chain and use watchdbg to see what was happening. Here's the
scenario...
k1xx > node#1 > node#2 > node#3
If I ping node#1 in rapid succession, I get answers to each ping.
If I ping node#2 or #3, in rapid succession, I do not get an answer.
However, after some period of time, measured in minutes, I do get an
answer.
Ping Returned from node#2 193.80 (Ave 193.80) secs
Ping Returned from node#2 184.88 (Ave 184.88) secs
Ping Returned from node#2 0.40 (Ave 0.40) secs
Looking at watchdbg on node#1, I see the PC51s come in from my node.
However, the PC51 are not sent on to node#2. They die at node#1.
BTW, this is not a recent occurance with this latest version. The
problem has been around for some time.
