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
