Re: icmpinfo (old thread)
I am responding to a request which was posted about a month ago... I can read the first 3 lines of each output, they represent two ip headers, (icmp errors reflect the ip header which caused the error back, as part of their reply). I do not know what the bytes after the first 3 lines represent, theoretically, these bytes are supposed to be the begining of the original data send with the original ip datagram (represend original udp headers) which caused the icmp error. That's theoretically, but I am only sure about the first three line. The first icmp port unreachable error are in responce to a udp(0x11) datagram send by localhost to localhost (7F00 0001 7F00 0001 ). The rest of the information shows, among others: id of undemultipled ip was 06FD id of ip of this icmp was 06FC (again, they were generated from the SAME host) The rest of the icmp port unrechable requests also are from localhost and for the same reason. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 17 20:06:09 1996: > > I'm in need of a TCP/IP expert here to tell me if someone is > trying to spoof/ping flood me...

Re: icmpinfo
tcpdump always dump this message to screen. It seems that it is a kind of error messages. the ppp channel seems *hang* for a while because of this error. Anyone know how to fix it? 10:59:08.535381 x.xx..xxx.xx > yy.yy..yyy.yy: icmp: x.xx..xxx.xx udp port route unreachable (frag 22923:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) [tos 0xc0] lawrence, -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: icmpinfo
Hello, looks like you are sending UDP:53 (nameserver queries) to 127.0.0.1 and there is no process to answer those, therefore you get Port Unreachable" errors. look in /etc/resolv.conf for an invalid 127.0.0.1, or start a nameserver.
