can't ping lan
Hi
I'm trying to set up IP masquerading. I had it set up under a previous
install, but I can't get it going now. The problem seems to be related to
the fact that I can't ping the other computer on the LAN, the one that's
going to be behind this one. Everytime I try to ping, this is the output I
get:
$ ping hal10000
PING hal10000 (172.17.0.2): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote hal10000 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote hal10000 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote hal10000 64 chars, ret=-1
What could the problem be? My ethernet card is an SiS 900 onboard chip and
its address is 172.17.0.1. The driver is built into the kernel-- that's the
only difference between this setup and the previous setup, the driver *was*
compiled as a module last time. Could that be messing everything up?
TIA.
