    Hi *,

     I have had really odd problems with my access to the Internet. I am using
    knoppix with a disk-less box and if I go:

    root@1[knoppix]# /sbin/ifconfig

    and

    root@1[knoppix]# cat /etc/resolv.conf

     I can exactly see the right configuration in order to access the Internet.

     Moreover, if I run ethereal I can see the whole Internet traffic reaching
    my NIC, but I am still not able to even ping my gateway

     My ISP's tech support people tell me, after going through the basic
    troubleshooting steps; Internet access configuration, line test, etc., that
    they can't understand why this is happening. The odd thing about it is that
    I do have access to the net and all of a sudden I don't and my MAC address
    doesn't even appear on the network (Verizon's) cache

     Why do you think this is happening?

     How could I debug/study these issues in more detail? Are there commercial
    line-test hardware out there?

     I would like to use a piece of hardware and/or software based line-test
    device that would not interfere with my access to the internet

     How could I fix this type of problems?

     Thanks
