Hi all!  I'm having problems pinging my A4000 from my Pentium running 
Windows 95.  When I ping my A4000, I get timeout messages, but when I 
ping my PC from my A4000 I get these:

7.Ram Disk:> ping sega_cd
PING SEGA_CD.ronquillo.ca (191.103.233.2): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2 ms
64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=2 ms
64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=2 ms
64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=2 ms
64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=2 ms
 
--- SEGA_CD.ronquillo.ca ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 2/2/2 ms
 

SEGA_CD (191.103.233.2) is the hostname of my PC and A4000 
(191.103.233.1) is my A4000.  What looks a little peculiar is the ping 
to SEGA_CD:

64 bytes from 191.103.233.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2 ms
			  ^
			A4000's host number

Shouldn't it be:

64 bytes from 191.103.233.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2 ms
			  ^
			SEGA_CD's host number
instead?


Another thing is that I'm able to get the ping messages when pinging my 
PC while it's turned off!  

My setup is an A4000 w/040 25MHz, 540MB & 120MB HD, 16 MEG FAST RAM, Golden 
Gate Bus, an NE2000 compatible ethernet card, coaxial cable, T connector and 
terminator, and AmiTCP 4.2.  The PC consists of Pentium 100MHz, 
1.08GIG EIDE, 8MEG RAM, NE2000 compatible ethernet card, T connector and 
terminator, and Windows 95, using Microsoft's TCP/IP stack.

 
If anyone with a working network like mine, and who has experienced these 
problems, please post a reply, or email me at edwardr@io.org.  Your help 
is greatly appreciated.
