Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Some of the machines in my student lab have a problem connecting to others. The error messages vary only slightly, depending on which program one tries to use. Here's a sample: ping: sendto: Permission denied telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.31: Permission denied ftp: connect: Permission denied I'm running all these programs as root. ifconfig -a gives output that looks good to me: the interface is up and the network and submask numbers are correct. All the machines have the same network number. I have no idea where the "Permission denied" could be coming from. Can somebody give me a clue? I don't know whether this is something different or another symptom of the same problem: dig reports that the connection is refused by the nameserver. I don't see anything wrong with resolv.conf.
