[ale] ping: dest unreachable, bad code:10

[John Wells]

Guys,

I'm having a few network issues apparently tonight. I can't even reach
slashdot, and when I try to ping it, I get:

PING slashdot.org (66.35.250.150) 56(84) bytes of data.

From slashdot.org (66.35.250.150) icmp_seq=1 Dest Unreachable, Bad Code: 10
From slashdot.org (66.35.250.150) icmp_seq=2 Dest Unreachable, Bad Code: 10

Any idea what "Bad Code: 10" means? Is anyone else having problems?

Thanks,
John

Haven't a clue about "Bad Code: 10" but as of 21:48 I could
reach Slashdot without delay.

Slashdot isn't a good ping test because they do blocking of icmp packets
I believe. I'd try some other hosts to do ping tests.

For me, ping shows no response. However, with the -v option, ping
reveals the same responses that you show.

Code 10 was defined as "communication with destination host
administratively prohibited" by RFC 1122. Later on, RFC 1716 said Code 10
was intended for military use and that Code 13 should be used instead
("Communication Administratively Prohibited").

I find it ironic to respond to a ping request by saying you don't respond
to ping requests. It would seem more appropriate to simply ignore the
ping request.
