Try to increase timeout on a ping command. Default timeout is 1 sec. If it takes longer, echo packet will be ignored, even if it will eventually arrive.

Didn't resolve the problem though. Maybe someone out there has run into a similar situation. In an attempt to monitor the status of our networks and internet connection we would like the 400 to ping our internet router. The router is on the other side of our firewall (Firebox) When we ping any outside IP address ex: ping www.midrange.com Pings 1,3 and 5 are successful. Pings 1 & 2 fail with no response after one second. If we ping to local addresses or to the DMZ of the firewall all 5 pings are successful. I can't figure out what is happening to the pings (2 & 4) that are getting lost. Secondly if there is an improper route on the 400 this may be affecting performance.
