SUMMARY: Solaris 10 and cheap hubs

Thanks to all the people who replied, 

Andy Lee asked me to try ping -ns

This worked, apparently solaris 10 will not ping unless it can do a
reverse DNS on the ip. The strange thing is, the firewall was also the
default gateway, and tcpdump did not show any traffic to the DNS
servers.

Stranger still is that I could ping systems on the same hub which were
not in hosts or DNS.

Anyway, my problem is solved,
thanks again,
ivo
