[smokeping-users] TCPPing probe doesn't generate data

[David Tomic]

Here's what I get from running smokeping --debug

TCPPing: forks 5, timeout for each target 76
TCPPing: Executing /usr/bin/tcpping -C -x 5 203.16.214.17 80
TCPPing: Executing /usr/bin/tcpping -C -x 5 internode.on.net 80
TCPPing: 203.16.214.17: got

My graphs are all just showing 100% packet loss.

If I execute the same command as smokeping is doing, then I seem to get 
proper results so I'm really not sure what the problem is?

david at david-desktop:~$ /usr/bin/tcpping -C -x 5 203.16.214.17 80
 25.130 23.576 23.224 24.626 21.697

david at david-desktop:~$ /usr/bin/tcpping -C -x 5 internode.on.net 80
 24.153 24.062 21.473 24.742 26.168


If anybody can offer any help/suggestions, then I would REALLY 
appreciate it!
