-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's too bad since I have 4 of the bloody bastards on my network (they're for my wife and kids who haven't warmed up to Linux yet). That does seem to match my observations though; if I ping with something like ping -c2 or -c3 I may also hear from my other linux box and my Netgear wireless access point. But yea, the windows boxes never seem to show up and they are the ones I want to verify - especially the wireless connected ones.
