It is NOT responding to ping from my box as well.
[<pts/0> kai@mp3 /home/kai/bin]$ ping quillandmouse.com
PING quillandmouse.com (207.155.248.31) from 192.168.1.4 : 56(84) bytes of
data.
- --- quillandmouse.com ping statistics ---
33 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
Perhaps, it is set up not to respond to icmp packets. My firewall box
(Coyote Linux too) is setup that way.
# Block PINGs from outside (Internet)
/sbin/ipchains -A input -i eth1 -s 0/0 -p icmp --icmp-type ping -j DENY
I guess they started preventive DDOS attack ;-)
