  Are your fping and hobbitping binaries still SUID root?

    Yes, hobbit's conn test.

    The confusing thing is that "ping" works, but fping doesn't (says address is unreachable)

      When you say it fails with the network tester I'm assuming you mean hobbit's conn test - is this correct?

      When you manually ping and it fails, what kind of echo are you getting?  Request timed out? Destination Network Unreachable? Are you getting ARP resolution for the IP address?

        We've been using fping in Hobbit for connectivity testing for years. But an
        interesting problem has arisen. There is one address for which the
        connectivity test fails, but, from the network tester, I can manually ping
        the address, but a manual fping (or hobbitping) fails. Anyone have an idea
        why this would be the case?
