ICMP - cannot allocate socket

Hi,

The PingGUI demo in Indy doesn't seem to work correctly on my system. When I
try to ping a host, I get an EIdInvalidSocket exception with the message
"cannot allocate socket".

Can anyone else verify this?

I'm using:
Delphi 5
Indy - indy8_00_23.zip
IndyDelphiDemos80_APR252001.zip
Windows 2000 Pro

The demo was compiled without any changes of any kind.

Thanks,

Dave

Do you have admin privilegies on this system?
Ping require admin privilegies.

Re:ICMP - cannot allocate socket

Hi,

You were correct. I tried with admin priviledges and it worked fine. Where
is this documented? Why does MS ping.exe work without admin priviledges?

Thanks for the info!
