Hi Folks, In an effort to help out a colleage, I had sent an email to an ISP showing them a trace similar to the following : > (linux rx [1545}) serial line IP: len: 76 > IP: len 76 128.54.16.18->216.196.13.242 ihl 20 ttl 238 prot IP(4) > IP: len 56 207.90.83.25->44.70.221.2 ihl 20 ttl 240 prot ICMP > ICMP: type Unreachable code Administratively Prohibited I originally interpreted this as meaning that the router in question '207.90.83.25' was blocking this. Am I wrong ? I don't believe I am, but if anyone wants to 'educate' me, please do. The response I got back is this (I assume reason for blockage) : > ICMP is the error and control message protocol used by the > Internet protocol family. It is used by the kernel to handle and report > errors in protocol processing. The message ID (of the header) doesn't have > an @ symbol, it violates RFS 822, causing the message to be discarded. This came from the voyager.net help desk. Can someone elaborate on this for me. I am not familiar with this stuff to this depth. Are there any 'solutions' to this problem of the missing '@' ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Maiko Langelaar Product Engineering Group SLMsoft.com Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Tel : 204-786-2656 (ext 439) Fax : 204-783-8286 Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] www : http://www.slmsoft.com - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
