Hello - OK. I posted this earlier and I got one response that said 

"Broken equipment.  Ping even told which piece."

I don't see that in here. I mean, why should I assume that because there
is  an error the hardware is broken? After It was good ol' Linas that
said  99.9% of the time hardware isn't the problem. Even if it was broken
 equipment how do I know that the router wasn't broken and screwing up
the  packet? Does somebody have more information about this? That would
be  great. 

I mean, if I am missing something please explian... I aint proud, however
I  just don't see where this says that a certian piece of hardware is
broken?  and if so which one? Couldn't it be a bug in the software
somewhere?

Thank you
Ken

But I don't want to go among mad people,
Alice remarked.
Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat:
we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat,
or you wouldn't have come here.
