(BBKing) Ping weirdness...
 
I dont get this.

If I ping 10.22.48.1 i get:

Code:
Pinging 10.22.48.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Request timed out.
However if I ping 80.5.164.128 i get:

Code:
Pinging 80.5.164.128 with 32 bytes of data:

Why does it redirect to 10.22.48.1 - the initial IP I was trying to ping - and what didnt reply...

We block access to private IPs for security reasons. However, what you're pinging is a UBR interface on your subnet with multiple IPs all ARPing to the same MAC address. The echo reply packet merely picks the first IP address allocated to that interface to reply from.
