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:
The difference is quite likely that you're using different pings.
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.
Don't be so sure. But without knowing at least your O/S, it's hard to be
very adamant about it. See below.
Any suggestions?
Yes. Read and follow the problem reporting guidelines given here:
