Okay, you ran it as root, and? I just downloaded teardrop.c source from
rootshell, and serveral others, and used them on the 3 2.0.36 machines i
have access to on the net. All sent the attack fine, without any problems.
If you don't belive me i'll send you the tcpdump and the command line and
uname -a :)

No one was saying you were thick, it was a sugestion for the possible
causes. The only thing I can possibly think that has happend is that
somone firewaled the ports your trying to use. If you downgrade the kernel
and don't have the same problems (use the *exact* same config (- the things
that have changed of course). But you seem to be the only person
experincing the problem.

If you are being terdroped, get your uplink to trace the spoofed packets and
take the people using it to court.
