    Can ping network connections but cannot access internet

    Solved my issue! Turned out to be a poor switch connection. I could ping packet sizes up to 330 bytes, but lost them after going higher. This is why browsing didn't work, but ping and nslookup did (very small default packet size). Try forcing a higher packet size. UNIX: ping -s 1500...

    Network issues, no web browsing, behind firewall...

    Some more info - determined today that I can't ping a packet size past 325 bytes without losing packets. Pinging my localhost is OK up to and past 1500 bytes. When I then set the MTU of my interface to 325, I can get some web browsing, but most times the pages stall. I think this may be a...

    how to know tape device is working ?

    I'm sure you both have tried this already, but make sure the tape device is powered on before starting your system. My SGI autodetects / mounts the tape once inserted, but it does not detect it if the drive is powered off on startup. I've also had luck with inserting a known good tape in the...

    Can ping, can't browse, behind firewall

    I am behind a corporate firewall, I DO have my proxy set up correctly in Netscape, but can't browse my local OR external web sites. I can ping (and nslookup) local machines and others on the LAN; firewall prevents pinging (and nslookup) outside of intranet. Running SGI IRIX (unix - SVR4 based)...
