Hmmm,

Just pinged my 957 (MPE/iX 5.0) this a.m. using the Win95 PING.EXE and
everything is chugging along just fine. I've also done this a number of
times previously as has one of my software suppliers to verify some routings.
You may want to check on your firewall setup but I'll admit I'm kind of at
sea as to what else may be causing this. Will defer to the gurus on the list.

Good Luck,
Howard
