Don't forget, do I need any 'extra' hardware? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't speak for anyone else but myself, but here's my opinion on this. If you have an older box, you'll need 2 nics. One (external / serial interface) to the dsl modem (crossover cable), one to the lan side. If this is also to a PC, you'll need another crossover cable. If the old NEC is a 486 with at least 32 mb ram, that should be all you'll need hardware wise as long a it's got a couple of gig for drive space. If you want to enable full firewall logging, you'll need more disk space for that of course. What I'd recommend doing in your situation, is the same as I have here at home. Have the bsd box (I prefer freebsd myself) connect to your provider and pull the ip on the serial interface, then assign a private ip to the internal nic and to the systems behind it on the lan. Then on the bsd box, enable nat and the first rule of your firewall will be a divert rule to pass everything to NAT. For more info on this and it's configuration, check out http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html or http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipfw.php If you're still wanting more info, then I'd recommend a google search for freebsd natd and / or freebsd ipfw to get a lot of good and useful info.

freebsd on xbox ?
I found (1) post in the mailing lists where someone asked about fbsd on xbox and it was seemingly laughed off. I'm a huge FBSD fan, and i think the xbox would be an awesome server. It's small, it's got solid hardware, it's really easy to mod and install linux on --- so why not FBSD? Anybody out there worked on this? have a beta or alpha anything? I'd love to have the power of /usr/ports without the baggage of gentoo.

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
Well, so far the Mcop thing doesn't help any. But I think I'll give the IPv6 in the kernel thing a try. I did notice that BSD for some reason seems to look at IPv6 stuff first for some oddball reason. It's still hanging at random times just like yours. Hmm. But at least lynx is working. Too bad I can't see pictures. ;) At 05:04 PM 5/10/04 -0400, E. Eusey wrote: I'm curious to see if you've had any success with the solutions offered so far.

Re: non functioning keys on compaq laptop
I'd suggest first testing it with a live CD (either FreeBSD or Linux) just to eliminate the possibility of a software problem. If it's definitely hardware, a possible cheap/temporary fix would be an external keyboard. As for repairing a hardware problem, if a replacement keyboard didn't solve it, then it's probably the mainboard and I'm afraid that's likely to be an expensive repair.

First time running cvsup
Hi folks
Freebsd5.2
=
This is my first time running 'cvsup' to upgrade
port-tree after installing the OS which runs on a slow
PC, AMD-K6-350 and under X11.
# cvsup cvs-supfile
I went through 'A.5.3 CVSup Configuration' on
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
But I haven't had much confidence on myself, not
running the PC to an unstable state after upgrade.
Please provide me some advice on this respect
$ pkg_info | grep cvsup
cvsup-16.1h General network file distribution
system optimized for CVS
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/cvs-supfile
/etc/cvs-supfile
# ee /etc/cvs-supfile (as follows)
cvs-all (shall I add 'release=cvs' ???)
...
Can I create one 'supfile' to /etc/supfile and run
followings collectively (instead of to run each
'supfile' separately);
# cat /etc/supfile
src-all
doc-all ('release=cvs' ???)
cvs-all ('release=cvs' ???)
cvsroot-all ('release=cvs' ???)
ports-all ('release=cvs' ???)
.
then
# cvsup supfile
Is it necessary to run following trial test ???
# mkdir /var/tmp/dest
# cvsup supfile /var/tmp/dest
I could not locate
/usr/ports/UPDATING
where it is kept???
TIA

My question is, in my case, can I also use Linux drivers so that I can get my internal pci modem working properly or is there something that i can to do to make it work properly? I've also cut this message during bootup: pci0: unknown card (vendor=0x134d, dev=0x2189) at 13.0 irq 11, which I believe is the message of the kernel detecting my pci modem. Please help me.

Printing to HP LaserJet III
Hi, I've brought an old (December 1990) HP LaserJet III printer obviously with no docs. It is connected on parallel port. Does anyone has the User Manual for this ? The only thing I could find on net was the meaning of the error codes. I suppose that it doesn't understand postscript since I had to install cups-pstoraster to be able to print from CUPS. Questions: 1. I've also installed gimp-print, and now I have in CUPS admin's web page not only the HP LaserJet Series CUPS v.1.1 (en) driver but also 15 HP LaserJet Series - CUPS+GIMP-Print v.4.2.6 (en) drivers; is there any difference between those 15 drivers ? (I think there are for different languages from what cups's /usr/local/sbin/lpinfo -l -m prints out). 2. The tray I have is for legal paper and I want to use A4; the problem is that if I set CUPS to print on A4 it's prompting PC LOAD A4 and I have to push Continue for each page. If I use legal and I set the bottom margin to about 6 centimeters I don't have to press Continue, but it still get the next page after finishing the current one (e.g. it spits out a page, wait a little and gets from the tray the next page) - a friend told me that under windows his printer gets half of the next page while printing the current one. Is it a problem of communication, the driver does submit the print job page by page ? Can it be set to do otherwise ? 3. From what I've seen on net there are many sub-models of LaserJet III with different capabilities; is there any method to query the printer and find out what it knows ? 4. Any suggested ports to install ?

I have also looked up setup for NATD and I think I can enable it but would not be able to write the firewall rules for it to read yet, as I understand needs to be done.

Sorry I am such a non-user. Jeff Jeff, I've been reading this thread and I think you need to start from the beginning. I am going to make a broad assumption that your D-Link is set up correctly and that it *is* a sort of broadband router that does NAT and has DHCP services. This means that the D-Link should be somehow connected to your DSL modem and/or Cable modem (unless you are using some other sort of connection - I couldn't find the 504H on D-Link's site, but was able to find the 804HV and am *again* assuming that it is similar). So here is the assumption list: - Your D-Link is capable of doing NAT and DHCP - You can ping the D-Link from your FreeBSD box (Win box, etc.) - if you can't STOP - this is your first problem. - Your router's internal address is 192.168.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 - You have chosen to statically assign your inside machines with addy's (although you could also get the addy assignment via DHCP from the D-Link, you may have chosen to go the static route for other reasons). On the FreeBSD box: in rc.conf you should keep: ifconfig_xl0=inet 192.168.0.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 # -- no other machine on the network should have this address defaultrouter=192.168.0.1 Assigning an address to rl0 is irrelevant - also, make sure that that interface is unplugged from your network. Make sure the xl0 interface is plugged in correctly. For now, also make sure the following is true: natd_enable=NO firewall_enable=NO Save rc.conf Now, take a look at resolv.conf. It should show something like: nameserver 192.168.0.1 or the address of a nameserver you know is valid. Get rid of any other lines for now - you can simply comment them out by beginning the line with #. Save resolv.conf Although there are ways around this, reboot the machine. Once back up and running, you should be able to ping the router and ping an address like yahoo.com. If you can't ping a website outside your internal network - i.e. Yahoo's - then there is a problem probably related to the D-Link. On every machine, you should (basically) have the following configuration: IP: 192.168.0.x (NOT 1 or any address that you have used with another machine) netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.1 (or other valid DNS cache server). Since you are not doing NAT or firewalling on the FreeBSD machine, there is no need to enable them. If you eventually want to do firewalling directly on the FreeBSD box, then you can enable it and configure it after you have solved your networking problems. I would recommend simply allowing the IP addy's to be assigned via DHCP, though. On FreeBSD, you simply put: ifconfig_xl0=dhcp in rc.conf and get rid of the other config info. Also, leave the firewall and nat off. In resolv.conf you can comment everything out with # as it will be assigned dynamically by the dhcp server. This *should* get you going...

Re: Scripted fdisk/slice/fs generation?
Kris, That is *exactly* what I was looking for. Thank you! I was trying to avoid the sysinstall route if possible.

In the event that I need to restore one of these backups, I usually use the FreeBSD installation media to fdisk and create filesystems, then mount the new filesystems and restore the CPIO archive. This system works great for me, but I would like to automate the restoration process. I have worked a little with fdisk and disklabel back in FreeBSD 2.x days (and trying early versions of OpenBSD) but wouldn't really know where to start automating that process. ( I do write code, but the thought of trying to use disklabel to read the geometry of the disks, calculate sizes, cylinder boundaries, etc give me a headache ) I would really like to specify minimum sizes of partitions and filesystems, with one having all the excess (rather than having to count cylinders). I've done some searching on Google and havn't really come up with anything conclusive. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Sounds like you want to use sysinstall in batch mode. The manpage sysinstall(8) gives a detailed explanation on how to do this. See also the diskprep port that was committed a few days ago.

You need to tell your gateway that in order to get to 10.0.0.0/24 from 192.168.1.0/24, you need to tell the routing tables that the route to 10.0.0.0/24 is via xl1 and vice versa. route add 10.0.0.0/24 -interface xl1 and vice versa: route add 192.168.1.0/24 -interface xl2 In the handbook, it says (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html): --begin quote-- 19.5.4 Enabling the Bridge Add the line: net.link.ether.bridge=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf to enable the bridge at runtime, and the line: net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=if1,if2 to enable bridging on the specified interfaces (replace if1 and if2 with the names of your two network interfaces). If you want the bridged packets to be filtered by ipfw(8), you should add: net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 as well. For FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and later, use instead the following lines: net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1 net.link.ether.bridge.config=if1,if2 net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1 --end quote-- I am not sure if this will work, though, because I'm not sure what effect (if any) it would have on the NAT from the 192.168.1.0/24 network. You might want to first try this approach while NAT and the firewall are turned off. I have a similar situation that I want to test, so I'd be curious if you succeed and how.

Hi, I'm using freebsd 4.9 and I know already that i'm using a winmodem. Aside from buying an external modem(which would take me a couple of months to save my allowance for it), is there any possible way that I may be able to send this e-mail to you on my freebsd system? I'm not an expert in freebsd or linux drivers but fortunately I found a driver on their site which then unfortunately was made only for Linux, linuX, and only for liNux.

Re: Problem with FreeBSD 4.8, ipf, ipfnat and forwarding for pcAnywhere
I am using telnet just to see if the port accepts connections. That test works fine internally. We are not running a telnet server.

I believe pcanywhere is one of those applications that imbed the ip address of the remote and host into the packet data and used by the application to establish bi-directional packet exchange. This means that pcanywhere will not work using nated ip address. This is an common design flaw in many 3rd party software providers applications, mostly seen in games and ms/windows netmeeting. Pcanywhere only works over the public internet between two ms/window boxs that use public routable IP address. It will also work between two pc on the Lan because Nating only occurs as packet leaves Lan headed for public internet. If you have an range of static public IP address assigned to you by your ISP then you could assign one of those ip address to the LAN pc you want pcanywhere to work on and you should be good to go. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of adp Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 12:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with FreeBSD 4.8, ipf, ipfnat and forwarding for pcAnywhere This shouldn't be that hard, but I can't get it working.

All later versions, including v7.5 use the following registered TCP/IP ports: TCP 5631 UDP 5632 You will run into problems when you are using a version of pcAnywhere with non-registered TCP/IP ports on one side of the connection and a version with registered ports on the other side of the connection.

IIRC, you need a larger version of LBA to map the drive. The 8GB is a sign of even older bios problems. The only time I had the hang problem with booting was when I made the drive dangerously dedicated. There are bioses that simply hang at discovery time with a DD drive mounted. I have a 160 Maxtor running in my test machine. There were messages about it not working on all systems but it installed without a problem on 4-stable. It is also very fast for an IDE.

RE: Anyone else having trouble with Samsung 160G drives?
Sounds like bio's problems. Check mfg web site of motherboard in question for bio's update. What kind of drives does client have on box now (mfg size)? Are existing drives used as straight IDE drives? Try Freebsd formatting them on your box before putting them back into clients box. I have noticed that newer motherboards (IE: 1GB speed cpu's and faster) have an different version of bois which FBSD has problems using. 5.x versions have been trying to fix this with no good results to date. Some people have reported that adding device puc to kernel, forces use of different method to read bios and things work using it. Check out 3rd party bio's vendor www.unicore.com for plug in replacement bio chip. Use ms/windows fdisk to break 160 gb into 2 partitions before putting then in clients box. You have to play around trying different things, there is no simple answer. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Moran Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anyone else having trouble with Samsung 160G drives?

When you look under /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, you will see a file called GENERIC. That is the kernel-definition that FreeBSD is distributed with.

Wow ... I haven't seem much of this kind of problem until now, I must have been very lucky! This sounds like a good suggestion, except it was the first thing we tried. The orignal plan was to add the two drives to an existing FreeBSD system to add storage space to it.

Non-VGA console possible?
I'm running FreeBSD 5 (both 5.2.1 and -CURRENT), and I'm curious if it is possible to have a non-graphical/VGA console? We have a server with an IPMI module, but it cannot redirect VGA consoles through the LAN; they must be plain text. So right now it works up to the loader, then I lose access to the remote console because FreeBSD switches to VGA mode. I've tried some things similar to the info in the post below already to no avail: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2003-December/004568. html Please CC me via email, too.

FreeBSD Perforce Repository
Hiho! :-) Can anybody enlighten me on how to access / browse the p4 repository? On google I found two messages claiming that I could access / browse it via perforce.freebsd.org, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I installed p4(1) from ports, studied the man page and tried p4 perforce.freebsd.org and p4 -H perforce.freebsd.org, but that did not work either, it fails with: Perforce client error: Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. TCP connect to perforce failed. perforce: host unknown. Am I missing something obvious (highly probable :-) ) ? Or is there no public access to the repository at this time?? (I'm mainly interested in the kgi4bsd sources, which got moved to perforce according to the kgi4bsd project page) TIA. :-) Bye Marc ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE
I'm curious to see if you've had any success with the solutions offered so far. I'm having similar issues with Firefox 0.8 in KDE 3.2 on 5.2.1: the browser hangs at random times when attempting to resolve hostnames. I thought it was some weird reverse-dns issue, or maybe something to do with the fact that I'm forced to use an unofficial driver for my NForce2 NIC (net/nvnet -- http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/). But then, like you wrote, Lynx works just fine. I've tried ifconfig the media type with no success. (Anyone?) Evan On Saturday 08 May 2004 10:31 pm, Dragoncrest wrote: Still looking for answers.

It just sits there saying resolving host whatever.com and does this for like 30 seconds, then finally it resolves it and continues on. Then it'll gag again on something else in the page as it's loading and do that all over again. Then I might be fine for another 5-15 minutes before it does it again. When this happens I can jump into a console either via KDE or control-alt-f1 and I can surf all I want to using lynx, I can resolve sites, I can telnet, or do whatever I want. But my browsers just sit there and look stupid. Is there something I'm missing? What could be causing this. It's been occuring periodically before this, but it's really gotten bad now. So far all I can tell that's affected is Mozilla and Firebird. Any ideas guys? Oh, yes. I did test this in Konqueror and it's doing the same thing in there too. So the issue is not unique to just Mozilla and Firebird. But from what I can see, not much else is affected on the network level. Is there ways I can test things in KDE that might give me some more information as to what's causing this? Or is there some network setting somewhere that I should look at?

RE: Gnome 2.6 broke OO and Evo
I was finally able to upgrade to gnome 2.6 on my 5.2 system. When finished, I fired up Evolution and it came up, but with no fonts. I tried a basic portupgrade of evo to accomodate the changes, but afterwards, evo wouldn't even load. Trying the old fashioned method, I did a make deinstall then make install, but still it doesn't load. A task bar item comes up but no splash screen or anything, and after about 10 seconds it all disappears. Similar with OpenOffice, it just hangs when I try to fire anything up, including setup. I did try pkg_deleting it and reinstalling the precompiled package, but setup still won't run. So, I am figuring the gnome upgrade broke something, but I have no idea on where to start on figuring this out. Do I need to wait for new evo/OO source/packages? Hate to reply to my own message like this, but I did solve one of the two problems. I created /etc/libmap.conf based off the manpage for it and that fixed evolution, but I am still having issues with OOo. No matter what I try, it refuses to launch any app and I need to kill -9 it from another terminal. I would hate to have to resort to a full OO port compile to get this working as I don't care to deal with the Java dependancy issue, but besides that, I am out of guesses. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I do have a file /boot/loader.conf. How about having in here the line console=comconsole (to divert it from the default: console=vidconsole) ? Or will that not do the same? Having -h in /boot.config will also allow the boot blocks to output to your serial console. I suspect console=comconsole would help the loader + kernel. It certainly couldn't hurt I guess :) If I understand the process correctly, settings in /boot/loader.conf override settings in /boot.config as the boot loader happens after the boot blocks. Thus by setting comconsole will negate any settings in /boot.config. Setting in both places is redundant and may cause problems for you when troubleshooting. For my serial console, I set my kernel flag to 0x10 so I have console options without recompiling. Then I do my serial console settings in /boot.config as it happens earlier in the boot stage and thus, I get my serial console a little sooner.

Hey there, My name's Terry Mo d'Angeles. I handle all of Faried Nawaz's email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] A virtual secretary, if you will. I don't believe we've corresponded; I don't quite recognize your email address. Then again, I only started the other day -- I'm new here. My main job these days is sorting email. Spam's a major problem these days, you see, so I sort through all the email I get, weed out the spam, and forward it on to my boss (you know him -- he's the man you want to email). I have this nifty program I downloaded off the net. It makes my job a lot easier -- it helps me keeps track of people I've already talked with in the past. Could you send me a message at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my records? (Simply replying to this email will work, too.) That way my program will recognize you whenever you send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I won't have to eyeball it. I'll hold your email in my inbox for 14 days, waiting for your reply.

For max performance, What does myserver should be size of net.inet.tcp.sendspace and net.inet.tcp.recvspace or other values ? That's a complicated question. The default values are pretty reasonable for most uses. There are only (really) two reasons you should change them. 1) Each seperate connection allocates sendspace adn recvspace amount of memory. If you have a LOT of connections, this can use up RAM that is better used other places. 2) If you're transferring large file across considerable distances, you may hit a situation where increasing these increases performance. With 2G of RAM, I doubt #1 will apply, but it is possible to have so many connections that it needs to be considered, watch your load. #2 depends on what your web site is serving. If it's mostly static HTML pages, then the default of 32k for send is probably fine. If it's stuff considerably larger than that, then it might be worth trying to raise it a bit. Don't go overboard, or you'll end up with #1. If you're letting people upload big files/data, you may want to consider increasing recvspace ... same rules apply. You're probably best off leaving the default values, unless you notice performance problems. If that happens, try increasing (or decreasing) the value that seems appropriate and test to see if it's improved things. Keep an eye on your memory usage to ensure you don't increase anything to where #1 starts to occur. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Help: Tip on Buying External modem
Modems, what an confusing subject when it comes to all the types available for purchase. First is the question between internal and external. Internal means they are expansion cards which you plug into your motherboard slots. There are two types, ISA and PCI. ISA cards are legacy cards designed for the older motherboard bus speeds and modem dial out max connection speeds of 33.6bps. Generally the ISA internal modem cards are obsolete and have been replaced by the PCI internal modem cards which use the faster motherboard bus speeds for better performance at 56K dial out connection speeds. When ISA PCI internal modems were first manufactured they contained controller/DSP chips on the circuit boards and was one of the major components that made the modem costly. Microsoft wanted their customers to use internet modems, so to lower the selling price, Microsoft changed it's windows system so the controller/DSP chips could be removed from the modem making it cheaper to buy and replaced it by an software driver which the user had to install on their windows system. Search the internet on 'winmodem' and you will see that using an winmodem software driver causes an performance drop. On the external modem world, serial modems are the original modem type available since before the public internet as most people know it. External serial modems have the controller/DSP chips on their circuit boards. External serial modems plug into your PC com ports. Then around windows/95 time the USB protocol was introduced. All the original USB external modems had the controller/DSP chips, but in an effort to tap into the cheap windows modem market the USB modem manufactures started to make some without the controller/DSP chips. For you to have an voice phone modem which can be used by both ms/windows and FreeBSD/unix like systems and get the best performance, and have the least problems configurating for FreeBSD, you should get an external serial modem. I have used the Zoom V.92 external modem Model #3049L. Second choose is an Internal PCI with onboard controller/DSP chips. You have to read the labels on the box the modem is sold in to identify it's not an winmodem. You can also usually tell by it's cost as it costs more that an winmodem. I use the Zoom internal PCI modem model #2920, it cost $98.00. Now to cover all bases. Many of the ISA and PCI internal winmodems are manufactured using Lucent chips and the specifications for the controller and DSP where made available to the public 2 years ago by Rockwell who owns the Lucent chip design. An Linux software driver for winmodems (ltmdm) that used the Lucent chips was built and then ported to FreeBSD. This ported driver had no documentation on how to use or configure it and does not work on all lucent chip winmodems. It may have been documented since I last looked at it, but from the posts on this list about people having problems getting it to work, I don't think so. For an trouble free modem install and usage in both FreeBSD and ms/windows get your self an external serial modem.
