- I had exactly the same symptoms, and the problem turned out to be an incorrect
- setting for the "route" in "\tcpip\bin\setup.cmd". Having that pointing to the
- wrong machine (not sure if it didn't exist or what) caused anything sent from
- the PS/2 to be lost. What's likely happening (what was happening to me) was
- that when you ping the PC from the sun, the PC gets the message, but the
- reply gets lost.

- Hope this helps,
