I can kill the network easily with ping -f <ip of local host>

Ping _from_ local _to_ local? I believe that doesn't even go to the
ethernet interface, but is returned right in the IP stack. At least, for
me, I don't get _any_ sort of network activity when ping -f'ing on local
IP address....

heh, sorry i wasn't clear.  I just meant a machine on the local
network.  Of course, pinging localhost doesn't generate any traffic.
