InetAddress.isReachable always returns false. I am puzzled why.

My router is set to pass UDP port 7 through. I can ping google.ca.

What timeout are you using? Too short a timeout may cause a false
return if the host takes too long to reach.

Similarly the ttl parameter may need to be set to more than the
default zero.

I was using 10 seconds. I'll try bumping up the TTL.

Most *nix implementation use ICMP (ping).

The windows version is said to use TCP to port 7 (echo).
