I'm sorry, you are wrong.
I did precisely what I said, with both Knoppix and Slax
(both downloaded 2 days ago),
and the result was exactly what I said.

Unless you are using "connected" in a different sense than me.
I mean that "ping" gets a return message.

Many ISPs disable ping now adays. So under you definition it is impossible
to get connected.

I was talking about connecting to my LAN,
as I think was obvious from the context.

I don't think many people disable ping on their LAN.
