[hobbit] Problems with hobbitping when the Network isunreachable (BUG)

[Sebastian]

Tested and it does solve the problem. (Network test goes red with:
Service conn on XXXGW1 is not OK : Host responds to ping on 2 of 7 IP's

...

Traceroute results:
socket: Network is unreachable
)

Thanks for the quick patch.

Sebastian
