Here is my output.....looks like I cant ping the hobbit server.

sh-3.00# $BB $BBDISP --debug "ping"
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Transport setup is:
2007-07-12 10:05:57 bbdportnumber = 1984
2007-07-12 10:05:57 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2007-07-12 10:05:57 bbdispproxyport = 0
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Recipient listed as '5601-hobbit.sitel.net'
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Standard BB protocol on port 1984
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Will connect to address 5601-hobbit.sitel.net port
1984
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Connect status is 0
2007-07-12 10:05:57 Sent 4 bytes
2007-07-12 10:06:12 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout

DNS and IP of the hobbit server are correct from the client....the
firewall blocks ping from our DMZ to internal.
