Comment 27 for bug 484856

Quoting WeatherGod <email address hidden>:Just a little confused by your last
message,Do you mean carry out the apport test whilst all ofthe other computers
are closed down or do you mean carry out the ping test in the same way.I am
pretty sure that no other computers were switched on and connected when I did
the apport test.You may be right about the IP address and it certainly should
not be the master or the first on the network.
