[SOLVED]POCO Net Ping sample can't ping localhost

[panovr]

In POCO Net Ping sample, I find this in "Ping.cpp":

Code: Select all

Ping():
      _helpRequested(false),
      _icmpClient(IPAddress::IPv4),
      _repetitions(4),
      _target("localhost")
   {
   }


If I understand correctly, it support to ping "localhost".

However, if I invoke this program, there was an error:

Code: Select all

F:\lib\poco-1.4.3p1\Net\samples\Ping\bin\static_mt>Ping
I/O error: Permission denied

Also, if I invoke this program with target parameter, there was also an error:

Code: Select all

F:\lib\poco-1.4.3p1\Net\samples\Ping\bin\static_md>Ping /target=www.google.com
I/O error: Permission denied

My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit, Visual Studio 2010.

Is this a bug of POCO windows edition?

Just an idea, but did you tried running vs2010 with Admin rights?

Set linker option for manifest UAC execution level to 'highestAvailable' (/level='highestAvailable'):

Code: Select all

Properties -> Linker -> Manifest File -> UAC Execution Level -> highestAvailable

I tried POCO Net sample - Ping on Ubuntu 12.04, also got the similar errors:

1. Ping locahost

Code: Select all

ylzhao@ylzhao-Inspiron-620:~/lib/poco-1.4.3p1-all/Net/samples/Ping/bin/Linux/x86_64$ ./Ping
I/O error: 1

2. Ping remote host

Code: Select all

ylzhao@ylzhao-Inspiron-620:~/lib/poco-1.4.3p1-all/Net/samples/Ping/bin/Linux/x86_64$ ./Ping --target=www.google.com
I/O error: 1

I tried POCO Net sample - Ping on Ubuntu 12.04, also got the similar errors:

Run tests as root (or sudo). ICMPSocket is raw and needs root privileges.

If I open the console window as Administrator, then I can Ping localhost correctly.

It seems that the problem is related UAC on Windows 7, and not to POCO.

Thanks alex!

Thanks for the tip, and invoke Ping as sudo can Ping localhost on Ubuntu 12.04.
