ssh to new ip...
Hi, I'm moving my new freebsd 5.3 box to a new static ip address and I'm worried that once I put it at the isp, I won't be able to ssh to it or anything. Right now it's still at home and has dhcp. I'm not able to ssh from my windoze box over to it thru my router. I'm getting a connection refused error. Trying to ssh from another box on the net isn't successful either. The operation times out. I am able to ssh to that address from the box itself tho. Is this a firewall issue or maybe more of a thing with my dhcp provider? How can I tell?

changing from dhcp to static ip, changing hostname, etc.
Hi, I'm using FreeBsd 5.3 and I'm switching to a static ip, but am not sure of all the syntax. If not, here's what I had in my rc.conf. hostname=john ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP now I'm hoping to have a hostname of bagus.org gateway of 204.251.1.185 ip address of 204.251.1.186 netmask of 255.255.255.248 I'm guessing I need to change my resolve.conf, too. what does the 'search' line in there do? Any other considerations? Thanks, Bagus p.s. I can't for the life of me find a simple how-to-get-your-freebsd-box-online guide. The handbook seems to only have 11.3 Core Configuration which has a little bit about cluster configurations. What's up with that? I just want to get one box online! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how to get it online
Hi, I hope this mailing list can help. I just installed freebsd 5.3-Release onto a new hard drive and I can't seem to get it online with my dhcp cable modem thru a linksys hub. Later it will be moving to a static ip, so any help with that transition now would be helpful too, but for now I have the machine at home and need to install software on it. If I give a ifconfig fxp0: flags =8802 bradcast, simplex, multicast mtu 1500 options =8VLAN_MTU ether 00:a0:c9:e6:11:b1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status:active there'splip0 and lo0 as well... ping freebsd.org ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: Host name lookup failure. As an aside, I'm stunned this isn't a FAQ or part of the freebsd manual: How to get your computer online. Really I'd rather not be posting this question to a mailing list. It seems so basic, yet I can't find an answer out there. If anyone has any references, I'd appreciate it.

Hostname lookup failure sounds like a dns problem to me. Is there anything in /etc/resolv.conf ? No, there is not even a /etc/resolve.conf. What should go in there? How is fxp0 assigned an IP? DHCP? I think so. That's the way it should be. If so, do you have a line like the following in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP That line was not in there. I added it and rebooted. The boot process now started the dhcp client, but still no actual ip address is reported in the ifconfig. How did you setup the Linksys? Default (out-of-the-box) settings? plugged it in, plugged cable modem into uplink, plugged this pc into one outlet, the freebsd box into another. PC works fine. Lights indicate connectivity to bsd box. Is the DHCP server turned on at the router? What does the status page of the router settings show? That's supposed to be http://192.168.1.1, isn't it? I can't access that even from my pc. Any advice there would be helpful. BTW, I'm using Cox as a ISP. The FreeBSD Handbook is a great reference: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ Yes... there's more information there than I saw on first perusal. Thanks, but I'm not out of the woods yet.
