<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>I have a problem
accessing the ftp, ping from some machines (some 3 of them) from a
subnet.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>I am told that the
particular subnet has access restrictions which causes ftp, ping etc to
fail.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>I have RHEL v3
installed on the machines. Is there a way I could use the above protocols to
access internet.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>This is causing
problem as I cannot download software directly to the machine and configure it
using tools provided</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>by many of those
software. one example is CPAN modules.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=908453120-01052005>Within the

some software that can overcome this restriction, although I do not know what
they are.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
