Here's what happens.
If in my location, all the Network Ports are disabled,
SCNetworkCheckReachabilityByAddress returns 0 in its flags. This is > ok.
Now if all the Network Ports are enabled :
If Ethernet is enabled and the link is up, it also returns 0 in its
flags. This is not ok. The address can be reached.
Can you send/post the output from the "ifconfig -a", "netstat -rn", and
"scutil -d -r address-being-queried" commands.
If PPP is enabled and disconnected, the flags are transient, reachable
and connectionRequired.
Why do I have reachable here ?
Because you have a PPP ("transient") connection which, if established
("connection required"), could provide access ("reachable") to the
target host/address.
If PPP is connected, flags are 0. I should have reachable here.
Again, the output from the "ifconfig", "netstat", and "scutil" commands
would help explain your results.
Is it a bug ?
Dunno yet.
