maemo@maemo-desktop:~$ ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (209.85.231.147) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
137 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 185925ms


Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
Yes, I guess my scripts must be "too" smart. Something on your network is blocking pings so the "CheckNetwork" function is failing.

To "work" around this, the easist method would be to edit the "VM_Function.sh" file in "~/Maemo/Scripts/Install"
Add a new "return" to the first line of the "CheckNetwork() function.

This way it basically returns back out of that routine every time any of the scripts ask for it.
