    Good discussion about encryption, please keep it going :)

    Meanwhile another question, and I do apologise for all the traffic.

    Every time I ping another node it fails the first time, then works the
    2nd time.

    E.g. from va3mvw.ampr.org I ping va3oak.ampr.org. Both are on my local
    radio frequency and I have direct routes from one to the other and
    vice-versa.

    The first time, instead of a ping (ICMP echo request), my node send a
    packet "from VA3MVW to QST". That results in no replies, so in the shell I
    see "no route to host".

    If I ping again immediately, it DOES send the echo request, and gets back
    an echo ack from the other side, and all is OK< the ping works.

    What beginner's mistake am I making? DNS sounds likely but no, I am
    pinging IP's, not names. So what else am I overlooking?

    Thanks for your indulgence again, and thanks for any help!

    Michael VA3MVW
