Hi Jeff, The kernel version i'm using is 2.2.16-22 on RedHat 7.0. After having problems similar to yours i resorted to installing fping via the fping-2.4b2-2.i386.rpm installation. Looking at my graphs for the past few weeks, all have been generating successfully. I'm not sure if Redhat was at fault or the Fping source that i originally used, but its working at least.

I have the same problem with smokeping and fping. I'm running Redhat 7.1 with a 2.4.2 kernel and fping 2.4.2_to. Once the ping to the site fails fping can't ping the site anymore. I fping the site outside of smokeping and it will also fail. Ping works fine. I used tcpdump to check the network traffic on the computer and it shows the ping request packets. However a sniffer monitoring the router ethernet port doesn't see the packets. I don't know enough about the Linux network stack to point my finger at a specific section of the code. It is very interesting that the packet is visible to tcpdump but doesn't seem to make the wire.
