Hello, I am using iptables-1.2.6a on a Redhat Linux 7.3 system.
I am having problems pinging virtual interfaces with my firewall active. I use ifconfig to create virtual interfaces on eth0, such as: /sbin/ifconfig eth0:2 192.168.1.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 The IP for eth0 is 192.168.1.2 and I can ping this with the firewall active. However, when I try to ping 192.168.1.16, I get 'ping: sendto: Operation not permitted' ... $IPTABLES -N icmp_packets ... $IPTABLES -A icmp_packets -p ICMP -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT ... Could somebody please let me know what I have forgotten in my firewall or somewhere else? I am not a member of the netfilter mail list, so if you could, please reply directly vi eamil to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you, Murrah Boswell
