*** all other configs are fine...trust me on that one...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thing is at one point i SAW active-probes running from .6 and .4..however the TCP brief showed nothing and ip sla stats showed a socket connect error....
i guess what keeps bothering me that, USING THE SAME SET OF COMMANDS i configure active probes for R1 R4 and R6...however R1s TCP-connect shows up under the show tcp brief command and the show ip sla statiastics command but not the other 2....WHY?
<EDIT..JUST CAUGHT IT>>>
look below....there is an active probe running for target 150.1.4.4 BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW IN THE TCP BRIEF?????*****
proof that al else is configured fine.....
