Subject: Re: Fix "ipOutNoRoutes" counter error for TCP and UDP

Hi Mr. David
	I have modified my patch according to you advice. I think -EHOSTUNREACH
is only for "input path". In "output" path, we can just simply check
-ENETUNREACH  (^_^), the patch is shown in the end of this mail.

BTW: my E-mail has been changed to [email-masked]

 >> Function need to fix:
 >> tcp_v4_connect(); ip4_datagram_connect(); udp_sendmsg();

 > -ENETUNREACH.
