Add-ons Bindings

Hello
I just clean installed win 10 on my computer from win 7. I have a network health item to detect if my computer is on. (its described as the Red cased computer).

Switch NH_Red		"Status Red"	(gNetwork, gWOL)	{ nh="192.168.2.200"}
```
This was working just fine with win7. Now my OpenHAB pi server doesn't see it. It does; however, still see other devices just not the "perfect, glorious, and best OS windows 10"  #sarcasm


The PI can ping the win10 computer and get a reply. Its just the binding doesn't see it now.
````bash
openhab@openhabpi:~ $ ping 192.168.2.200 -c 1
PING 192.168.2.200 (192.168.2.200) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.2.200: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.451 ms
```
And yes the computer is static addressed at .200. Networking and internet works just fine.

Has anyone run into this?

Thanks

Please check whether java has the permission to use raw and packet sockets. Helped in my case.

Well that did it. thanks
Although I dont entirely understand what that setcap command is doing in the background.

The command setcap sets capabilities which is actually a more granular way of granting a process privileges which it wouldn’t have when not running as superuser, see capabilities(7) - Linux man page.
