Hi, I was just trying to send an ICMP address mask request to my provider default gateway with hping from my FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE, but the latter gave me this error message:
yoda:tataz# hping -n -I tun0 -V --icmp --dontfrag --icmp-addr 193.252.50.1 using lo0, addr: 127.0.0.1, MTU: 1500 HPING 193.252.50.1 (lo0 193.252.50.1): icmp mode set, 28 headers + 0 data bytes [send_ip] sendto: Can't assign requested address. This seems obious that hping doesn't use the right interface tun0 to send his datagrams. Note that I'm connected to Internet through a DSL connexion, using PPPoE. My firewall rules don't care about outgoing ICMP and let them go on. When I try to use ep0 which is not a kind of virtual interface like tun0 might be considered as, the behaviour is exactly the same. But when I try the exactly same command line on another FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE box from my private network, here is the output: z6po:tataz# hping -n -I ep0 -V --icmp --dontfrag --icmp-addr 193.252.50.1 using ep0, addr: 192.168.0.45, MTU:1500 HPING 193.252.50.1 (ep0 193.252.50.1): icmp mode set, 28 headers + 0 data bytes ^C --- 193.252.50.1 hping statistic --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 0.0/0.0/0.0 ms So does anyone have an idea on my problem ?
