grinder is correct. ping is a poor way to test for any communications. All you basically know is that the machine has power to the NIC. There may or may not even be a TCP/IP application running. We have been burned on several occasions. Now we use an overkill ftp session. I'd be interested in knowing how you finally work this out. Thanks.
