[Bug 727670] cannot connect to host through gateway

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727670 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727670#c5 --- Comment #5 from Rich Coe 2011-11-04 03:26:00 UTC --- I found the cause. The gateway 172.16.1.1 is issuing an ICMP Redirect Why this is observed, or not dropped when eth0 is brought down, or something else that's different from 11.4 to 12.1 Internet Control Message Protocol Type: 5 (Redirect) Code: 0 (Redirect for network) Checksum: 0xfbd0 [correct] Gateway address: 172.16.1.2 (172.16.1.2) Internet Protocol, Src: 172.16.23.56 (172.16.23.56), Dst: 71.74.56.78 (71.74.56.78) I set net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0 as a work-around. The default on 12.1 is the same as 11.4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
