-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a similar problem. My traceroute says: traceroute to www.google.akadns.net (66.102.11.99), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets traceroute: sendto: Operation not permitted 1 traceroute: wrote www.google.akadns.net 38 chars, ret=-1 [ ... ] My setup is rather simple. I have "black-boxed" router connected to the internet, that is able to forward traceroutes. My client is equipped with netfilter. When I disable my local netfilter on the client, traceroute works fine. I use $IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT at the beginning of my firewall script. Nevertheless traceroute does not work. Do I miss something? Thanks. Cheers, Florian Antony Stone wrote: > On Wednesday 30 June 2004 2:05 pm, Peter Marshall wrote: > > >>Hi.
