I also patched it against 4.5.1 after stripping out the .pod patching 
and it went in cleanly.

Ethereal shows that the ICMP layer checksum on all the echo request 
packets is incorrect (and therefore packet is ignored/dropped by 
firewalls).  The ICMP checksum also appears not to change across from 
the 2nd on packet on.

It looks like this call
icmphdrout[i]->checksum= checksum_ip((unsigned char *)icmphdrout, ICMP_SIZE)

and the one below it in net.c (line ~654) need to be changed to

icmphdrout[i]->checksum= checksum_ip((unsigned char *)icmphdrout[i], 
ICMP_SIZE)


Doing that made it at least mark the hosts as working now and I see the 
multiple amount of ping requests.
