Re: icmpinfo (old thread)

1996-12-18 Thread Ioannis Tambouras


 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.

  several times due to the couldn't get a free page message on my console.
  I've been running icmpinfo -vvv  /tmp/icmplog, and I'm getting alot of 
  ICMP_Dest_Unreachable messages.  Is this normal?   They're comming mostly
  from localhost but also from other sites.  Could someone please advise me
  on what to do, or where to get some more info on how to find out where
  these are comming from?  Here are several of the 'pings' I've gotten.

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.

Greetings
Bernd

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?

How to fix it?  I checked the resolv.conf and there is already
a line nameserver 127.0.0.1

Hello,

 How to fix it?  I checked the resolv.conf and there is already
 a line nameserver 127.0.0.1

for every nameserver line in resolv.conf you have to check if there is a
nameserver running on that host (dig soa . @127.0.0.1). Remove all lines
which don't have an nameserver running.

Hmm.. if dst and source port are exchanged the problem can be created by
other hosts querying your name server. You nameserver is too slow to anser,
and the other host stoped alread waiting for your answer, then it will send
a similiar icmp error.
