Razor uses TCP ECHO instead of ICMP ECHO because the Net::Ping Perl module it uses requires root privileges to do an ICMP ping. I don't know if there's an alternative. You could probably hack it to not do the network check. It calls Net::Ping in Core.pm. This means that port 7 TCP has to be open to allow that traffic. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net emial is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
