In that case, shouldn't ping be reporting the ICMP error -- after sending the packet -- rather than complaining about an "Invalid argument" and refusing to send it at all? Even if 10.5.0.1 and 10.7.7.7 are routed differently on the local host I would not expect one to give "Invalid argument" and the other not. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
