Re: ping sendto: operation not permitted
Um, yes, it's not a cable modem. :) It's kind of a phone modem - it uses
the phone wiring in the apartment complex to connect to a line-of-sight
transmitter on top of the building to provide high-speed access. It's not
the modem. I saw it work just fine on another computer (a W2K box).
I truly suspect it's something I'm doing wrong. I had thought from the
previous response that it might be the itpables firewall but I cleared the
iptables like so:
iptables clear
and this didn't seem to make any difference. Any other ideas?
