It seems the ping requests are not answered by IPCop. Why, I don't know
but the logs are clear on this - pings are received by IPCop. And the=20
requesting client does not get anything back.

Here's an example from the /var/log/messages when I use traceroute
(it's almost the same when I use ping) but there is NO answer..

Problem explained (I think):=20
I use IPCop 1.4.10, "clean" (no add-ons), but it is running on a 48xdx4-100=
MHz
machine where the average load is ~80% and peak load nearly 100% (as shown =
in=20
the IPCop graphs).
I guess the cgi-bin (Perl) interpreter requires a lot of cpu...

Just wondering: When I run "top" (over ssh), the load is shown as around 1-=
1.5
What does these figures mean?

Thanks!
