[cobalt-users] Strange PING problem with RAQ3

[Todd Knaus <todd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Fellow RAQ3i owners,

I have a wierd problem with our RAQ3i that I can't seem to figure out.  I 
have assigned a whole class c to the RAQ3i and we have several pages we 
are testing.  The problem is none of my dial-in customers can see any 
pages on the RAQ3 ?!?  Any person off our network can see the pages 
fine, it is just the users that dial in to our RAS servers.

Now heres the strange part.  While duplicating the problem we found that 
if we first ping the raq (i.e. ping cisraq3.cisnet.com) we could then 
ping and/or see any of the pages on the RAQ from a web browser.  But if 
we sign off and then dial back in we could again NOT see any of the pages 
hosted on the RAQ3........until we first pinged the raq3.  It is alomst 
as if we have to "wake up" the ethernet port for local traffic.

We have a RAQ2 and another RAQ3i that we sold to a web hosting customer.  
Both the RAQ2 and the RAQ3i are set up exctly the same way as the RAQ3i we 
are having a problem with so I know it is not a routing problem.

Anyone have any ideas on why we would have to ping the raq first before 
viewing/pinging any of the hosted pages ?

Thanks for any input,

Todd
