Re: Verify network connection from i

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The next steps I think would be communication traces on both ends if 
possible or at least on your end. Catch the outbound traffic or lack of 
inbound traffic. Export it as a .pcap file and hand it to the network 
guys. "Here is my outbound traffic. Since you've completely blocked all 
troubleshooting opportunities it's now your problem."

I can tell you that there have been days it's a good thing the network 
guys were not local. Up and down they swear it's not their problem! 
However, since they cannot show the traffic sending/arriving we just 
continue to throw it back in their face until someone with sufficient 
'chooch factor' gets them to focus on the problem. Then, often with a 
complete denial of any change, suddenly it works.
