Rene,

>I've been told that internally we have the IP (172.16.4.68) but if someone

>(200.13.36.105), indeed the hostname is: cumulus.imta.mx.

I figured that the external machine IP address must be 200.13.36.105,
but I am unable to ping it from Boulder.  I have tried a variety
of days and times to ping the machine, but have never had any success.
I can, however, ping the mail server (200.13.36.34) most of the time
and even logon to it for mail (i.e. 'telnet 200.13.36.34 25' works).
It seems like cumulus (200.13.36.105) is not accessible to us, or
I have been very unlucky the times that I have tried.

>See ya !!

Please let me know if you can logon to cumulus and ping our machines
here at Unidata:

ping 128.117.140.62
ping 128.117.149.62
ping 128.117.140.56
