Hi... I'm having problems with routing for a gateway... I have a gateway machine that works with the win9x setup, and used to work with debian... but it no longer works with debian for some reason.. Here's what I do: route add default gw tom (tom is in hosts) I also tried a: route add default gw tom metric 1 (which I found in /etc/init.d/network (or some init file))
After doing the route, I tried pinging yahoo.. # ping www.yahoo.com ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com I then got one of yahoo's ip addresses from the windows bootup and tried this: # ping 204.71.200.74 PING 204.71.200.74 (204.71.200.74): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 204.71.200.74 64 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 204.71.200.74 64 chars, ret=-1 if I do the ping without doing the route, ping replies with "no route to host" I have no idea why it come up with "operation not permitted"?
