Re: Sending a packet with 127.0.0.2 source address

[Anatoly Muliarski]

After I commented below-mentioned lines in route.c, ping begins to
issue packets, they go through NATed interface and I receive
responses( as tcpdump shows ) BUT these responses are not visible to
ping itself :(. May the problem be in NAT code? Whether it translate
external IP to 127.x  subnet?
