-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Just for kicks I tried to ping my mysterious packet thief, the address that seems to be stealing my ping echo-requests, and got the following: PING 10.13.7.254 (10.13.7.254) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=6.48 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=6.94 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=6.48 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=8.13 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=7.65 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=6 ttl=255 time=7.09 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=7 ttl=255 time=7.41 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=8 ttl=255 time=8.03 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=9 ttl=255 time=7.72 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=10 ttl=255 time=7.29 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=11 ttl=255 time=6.81 ms 64 bytes from 10.13.7.254: icmp_seq=12 ttl=255 time=6.36 ms - --- 10.13.7.254 ping statistics --- 12 packets transmitted, 12 received, 0% packet loss, time 11106ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 6.361/7.203/8.136/0.588 ms I am not sure what all this means.
