trace & service checks OK but not conn

[Joel CARNAT]

Hi,

I don't understand why all my service checks are OK expect the conn one.
Here's an exemple of the "trace" result :
########################################################################
Sun Mar 13 18:12:38 2005 conn NOT ok

Service conn on www.netbsd.org is not OK : Host does not respond to ping

System unreachable for 2 poll periods (123 seconds)

BBSERVERHOSTNAME and BBSERVERIP are correctly set (!=127.0.0.1)
and I **can** ping any machines (in my LAN or on the Internet)

Can anyone tell me why conn would fail when ping works on command line ?

TIA,
	Jo
