I dont appear to be able to ping anything from xterm..... tad annoying
 
Anyone any pointers on how I could actually ping something from the command prompt? Seems a bit of a over sight requiring root to ping an IP :p This is my first Nokia Tablet so please treat gently.

I installed the 'becomeroot' application. With that application installed, you can then type:

sudo gainroot

in Xterm to get a root prompt from which you can ping to your heart's content!
