I noticed that the clock on my wife's computer was way off time. Before I figured it was a weak batt.
I checked to see if the "atomic clock synchronizer" (OS2_ntpd) I have installed was working. It said
no time servers were being recieved. Checked the program on my computer and it is recieving data from
two servers.

Eventually I decided to ping some known URLs. There were no packet loss on all that I tried except
192.5.41.41 which is a time server being used by OS2_ntpd on my machine. I can ping it from my box
with out packet loss though.

Both computers get to the internet via a local lan thru an SMC broadband router and seem to work fine.

So, why can I ping all URLs I tried but that one URL when my machine says that same URL returns pings?
