It seems 124.7.230.97 is doing some dirty firewall filtering. I dont understand why sify blocks pinging websites. With this level of filtering, I suspect they have some more unfair filtering there. Please check who is 124.7.130.97. If it is your Modem IP address, then you can have a look at its fire wall table. If it is ISP's IP, then you may have to pull their legs. -- Imagination is more important than knowledge... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
