[Sunhelp] ping works ,ping -s does not !!!

[Fuerst, Robert C. (Chris)]

I see no mention on half, full duplex issues.  Possible something can be
alive but not able to return any size packet at 100 or 10 half/full or any
combination in between? (this is a question) Can you telnet to the router?
Most Cisco's have the capability of doing that...
What do the port lights tell you on the switch?

	Hi Guru's
	Here is a good one for you .
	we have a cisco router connecting us to the comapny wan.
	from my machine  - solaris 2.6 fully patched . if i ping the router
i get
	"router is alive"
	if i ping -s the router the ping halts and i get no reply.
	I have moved the machine to the same subnet asd the cisco with no
luck .
	this would e a simple " lets check acl's on the router " problem
,but
	(there's always a but ...).
	if i ping this router from windowz ,linux ,hp-ux ,AIX and even a
netware 4.1
	boxes it works great !!!
	We've comapred packet size , subnets gateways .
	this problem apears to be sun specific ( both sunos 4.1.3 sol2.6
sol2.7 and
	even sol2.5.1).
	I've scanned sunsolve but came up empty, searched the web - smae
thing.
	anybody got a clue ???
	Moti
