Hi,
I have just installed a brand new cygwin installation. When I try to
ping anything from cygwin, I get the message above:
$ ping 150.161.5.10
ping: socket: Operation not permitted
If I try exactly the ssame from the command shell, it works:
C:\>ping 150.161.5.10
Pinging 150.161.5.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 150.161.5.10: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 150.161.5.10: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Ping statistics for 150.161.5.10:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
Would anyone know why ping isn't working for me in cygwin? I have not
found any mention of it in the documentation. The most recent message
I find in the archives is about 2 years old:
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-12/msg00364.html
But it says cygwin's ping should only work from an admin account, and
I have always been able to ping from cygwin using a regular user
account without any problems, so I don't believe that the problem here
is the same.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Gustavo Seabra.
