As an experiment, I tried pinging 224.0.0.1, which is the all hosts multicast address, which all hosts are supposed to respond to. When I do that, I only get a response from my Yamaha A/V receiver. Other devices, including computers running Linux and Windows 7 do not respond. I get the same results if I ping the local network broadcast address, only the A/V receiver responds. Given that all devices are supposed to respond, does anyone know why Linux or other devices don't?
The same thing also happens with ping -b 255.255.255.255. BTW, the A/V receiver runs Linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
