Hello -questions: Lately (since a few days ago) I've been getting an oddity from traceroute, for example: -------------------- traceroute to www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets traceroute: sendto: Permission denied 1 traceroute: wrote www.freebsd.org 44 chars, ret=-1 *traceroute: sendto: Permission denied traceroute: wrote www.freebsd.org 44 chars, ret=-1 * 10.108.0.1 (10.108.0.1) 7.212 ms
[other hops that look just fine] 13 www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117) 94.209 ms 87.449 ms 89.103 ms -------------------- OS is 4.10-RELEASE, built from source acquired via cvsup. I get that "Permission denied" at the beginning regardless of where I might try tracing "outside" (external interface - dc0) e.g. it works just fine to my local net (local interface - dc1). Up until a few days ago, traceroute "worked fine" and never (as far as I recall) reported such a message. Btw, that 10.108.0.1 hop has been there for ages, and while I think it's "unusual" it has been there for ages & hasn't previously affected traces. The difference between previous & now is that "traceroute: sendto: Permission denied" message What does that mean? What is traceroute trying to do? I tried the "tracert" from a local (NATed) Win2k machine & that seems to work as it always has. {shrug} Any idea(s) what's (not) happening? Is my upstream connection blocking something (again)? Is there some kind of workaround/fix (perhaps my firewall config)?
