Re: PING
Previously, I went on a mission to get TKS to institute ICMP for on base users of their cable modem service. Until now, theyhave been blocking internal IP addresses on base housing from seeing each other.
Not a good idea for those out there who want to play online games with people living on the same base as us. I can imagine many a teenager has been pissed off when they go out and spend that hard earned cash, (from screwing up my order at Burger King,) on a game to play with their classmate down the circle, only to find out they can't. I tried getting it fixed. TKS told me to get bent- so I went to the Army. I have been pursuing this ever since, and yesterday I got this eMail.
I'm happy to let you know that USAREUR has issued the required guidance to
allow TKS to activate PING on all of the on post networks in the foot
print. I have already sent this on to TKS and expect them to tell me today
when the service will be activated. I'll let you know the date and time just
as soon as I get it later today.
Best,
George
All the online gamers in the KMC will forever be indebted to me for being able to play games with their neighbors...
You're welcome.
AND Thanks ever so much to Mr. George R. in Mannheim for helping me get this done.
