Ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
-
I'm struggling to connect my pfsense box (Soekris 4501) to Internet via pppoe. Under Status–>Interface I can see that i'm getting IP address, DNS server address, etc from my ISP. But, I can't connect to Internet, and when I try to ping host on Internet from pfsense shell i get this reply : "ping: sendto: Operation not permitted". Is this error firewall related? Any help?
Thanks!

Where I've seen that the most is where the NIC you're trying to ping out of has no link. That may be driver specific though (some will just time out in that case). May be that there isn't enough RAM to allocate mbufs or something to the NIC, 4501 technically isn't a supported platform as it only has 64 MB RAM, you may have trouble running reliably on it. May want to check 'top' at the console or SSH to see how much memory you have available.

I've moved CF card from Soekris 4501 to Soekris 4801, and now everything works fine!
Thanks!!
