ping reply delay

by quibb » Fri, 27 Nov 1998 04:00:00

hello all,

i am setting up a freebsd box and installed everything, to my
knowledge, correctly. this is the fourth time i have re-installed
freebsd, becuase i thought i may have done something wrong. alas the
same problem continues to reoccur.
i have configured the network card in said machine, but it will not
effectively ping another computer on the same network without a
response time of up to 10000.00ms. the two computers are on the same
hub, with one internet router. please help.

thanks in advance

1. Q: how to suppress ping replies to certain hosts

(pls mail answers; erratic newsfeed)

Situation:
Every 5 minutes I am being pinged by a certain host. This is duly logged.
The problem is, I do not wish the host in question to be able to ping me
(the reason is a long and complex story).

Question:
How do I, short of reading through and experimenting with a rather large
portion of the kernel sources, exclude a discreet host (on ip adress)
from receiving an echo?

I would very much appreciate it if someone could point me to a utility
and/or the parts of the kernel that need to be modified in order to do
this.

Regards,

Gabriel
