Re: Problem with packt transmission

[vijaykumar v <vij@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
          The problem is not with firewall/gateway, as these machines 
are on the same subnet and even on these machines, the firewalls are 
disabled.

Pinging normal interfaces will not work as this interface changes the 
type of the packet in the ethernet headers (so, the other interface cant 
identify this packet).

i make a  *dev_queue_xmit(skb);*  call on the physical interface. 
Ethereal too shows that the packet is going to the eht0 interface.

If firewall is set, will the packet be seen in the ethereal output?.

And the bigger question is "when the ping-request/syn goes through the 
interface and gets received at the other end, why does the 
ping-reply/syn-ack not go through the interface?"
