Heyas,
i've just been testing my ping script, where i've added an array of urls to ping.
In generell it works, but regardless if i use the script or ping directly, i cannot ping microsoft at all.
File: ~/bin/p
So to me it looked like:
While the other urls in the array where pinged successfully.
However, microsoft is available:
Is that just me or others too?
Thanks
