Something very serious is wrong there, not with ANY address whatever it may be (no number was posted).

How about posting the outputs of:

Code:

$ ping -V
$ which ping
$ ls -l /bin/ping (or other if output from which command is different - note that it should not be)
$ uname -a

The target address is a Windoze machine on a local wireless network. I've never seen this before. As near as I can tell it has caused me no problem. I think it's curious rather than a problem.
