If I heard correctly, the default of /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts has changed from 0 to 1. You'll want to set that back to 0.
HTH, Bruce. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Ketrenos Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 2:37 PM To: NetDev Subject: no response to broadcast ping from systems running >= 2.6.14? I've recently noticed that broadcast ping responses are not received from any system running kernel 2.6.14 or newer. I have 9 systems here, 3 of which are running 2.6.15 through upstream-tip and 6 running version 2.4.x through 2.6.12. A broadcast ping from any of those systems gets a response from all of the systems *except* the 3 running newer kernels. Is there a new option that needs to be enabled to turn broadcast ping response on?
