Off-topic: bizarre ping failure
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009This morning I was trying to connect to a client videoconferencing codec via their data network and was doing a classic “ping” test to the IP address of the codec to test connectivity. I’m used to the standard “Request timed out” or “Network unreachable” errors, but this morning I experienced an error I’ve never seen in almost two decades of using ping: I experienced “General failure.”
