Gnome-Nettool doesn't ping address

[Ron]

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

I can ping just fine from the command line, for ex. ping -c 5 google.com comes back with all packets received. However if I run gnome-nettool from the menu entry or start it with sudo in the command line and try to ping google.com it comes back with no packets received. Here is the error I get from the command line when I start and when I try to ping google.com using gnome-nettool. Also this happens even if I don't sudo gnome-nettool.

-----$ sudo gnome-nettool
