iptraf shows packets, no problems here
So I run on two boxes iptraf and ping from on to another box, it shows
me the ICMP req and reponse on both boxes
Also when I ping from the router, a linksys, it shows me the ICMP
BUT I found the following information :
even though bugzilla 452761
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452761) is solved by kernel
2.6.18-128, bugzilla 474334
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474334) is only solved in
kernel 2.6.18-141, so may need to use a kernel from Don Zickus before
you can use them properly http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/
