Subject: Re: net-ping error says "false" though server can be reached

Hi,

I trying this

irb(main):003:0> host='192.168.1.1'
=> "192.168.1.1"
irb(main):004:0> tcp = Net::Ping::TCP.new(host)
=> #<Net::Ping::TCP:0xb717377c @duration=nil, @warning=nil, @timeout=5, 
@exception=nil, @host="192.168.1.1", @port=7>
irb(main):005:0> tcp.ping?
=> false


BUT,

ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.00 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=1.00 ms

I am confused.

Regards,
