I have 2 windows machines connected to my linux which is connected to the Internet via cable modem. The connection was working fine yesterday when I retrieved my e-mail. To night the windows machines can't get out and when I ping from windows to linux I get packet loss. When I ping from linux to the windows machines I get about an 11% loss. On the ping lines time = 501 to about 587 usec. I am not sure what the 'u' stands for I am used to seeing an 'm' there. Anyone have any ideas what my problem might be or where to begin. The only change I made was Monday night I finished installing KDE 2.1 John Miller
