Re: Network access fails unless tcpdump is running?

Hi,

I can not ping a remote host successfully unless I have "tcpdump -i
eth0" running, in which case, my network access works fine.

I am running Debian etch on a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. The eth0
address is static on my local LAN. Once tcpdump is running, the
laptop can access the network with no problems.

Any help or suggestions to solving this concern is really appreciated.

Thanks,

Marc


I would be interested to hear the explanation for this problem. I see
similar behaviour when trying to establish an ssh connection to a guest
OS running under qemu with the -redir option. The connection attempt
just hangs until I run 'tcpdump -i eth0' inside the guest. Very weird.

Not quite the problem you're having, but interesting nonetheless.
