IBM Thinkpad R51 FreeBSD 4.10???
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I recently purchased an IBM Thinkpad R51 and I was looking to install FreeBSD 4.10. Has anyone ever done this? Should I anticipate any problems? Lastly I have never installed FreeBSD on a laptop before are there things that I should know before I get started? Thanks in advance for you help.

NAT / ipfw / GW - FreeBSD 4.10 to Linux Private Network???
Hello All, So with the help of all of you I have configure my FreeBSD 4.10 gateway. I am able to ping, tracerout, ssh and call webpages with a fully functioning DHCP client. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart, those of you that helped me out... its been hardwork and late nights (or early mornings) building these computers from scratch and then introducing them with Linux and FreeBSD OS's which I have only a combined year of experience. With that said I have come to the final component of my network... the NAT component. I was trying to play around with it until I found out that I really didn't know what I was doing... so here I am again. I'm trying to configure one box through NAT via my FreeBSD gateway. I figure after I do it once I'll be able to tweak it for the rest of my machines. This is my set up [internet] - [firewall/gateway] -- [ linux box ] 24.199.105.0-- 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.3 ( dc0 ) ( txp0 ) ( eth0 ) I'm trying to get internet connection for my linux box, and I also want all pop3, smtp and http passed to my linux box as well. The freebsd box is setup to be headless once I get this configured properly. In addition I would like SSH2 to be able to tunnel from box to box as well as SSH2 outside my network with my Linux box. I have attached my config files for ipfw.rules, rc.conf, and natd.conf however natd.conf is where I am lost I don't exactly know the rules for natd.conf. I reviewed my resources: The Complete FreeBSD by Greg Lehey and Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas however there was not much on the actual syntax. If someone could help me in these areas it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... Hakim Z.

Re: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???
Bill FreeBSD-Questions,
This configuration is not as intuitive as I thought it would be.
In /etc/rc.conf I added the following strings:
network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP
Then I deleted the entries in dhclient.conf and relied on the
default. I started the daemon by [dhclient dc0] and it
seemed to be processing. However, that was all that
happened. When I [ifconfig dc0] I get this return:
#
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0
dc0 flags = 8843UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX,
MULTICAST MTU 1500
inet6 fe:80::2c0:f0ff:fe79:4ab7%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 0.0.0.0 net mask 0xff00 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether 00:01:02:c3:40:1a
media Ethernet auto select (100basefull duplex)
status: active
###
Then I tried to ping a host...
###
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping www.yahoo.com
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping 24.199.105.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping www.absolutebsd.org
Ping: Cannot resolve www.yahoo.com
hostname lookup failure, etc.
###
However somehow when I run a report the system
indicates that UDP packets are being transmitted but the
statistics are highly skewed at a rate of
11290 IKPTS : 38 OPKTS
I was reading Greg Lehey's book The Complete
FreeBSD which happens to have more information on
DHCP,DNS, BIND than Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas and
Greg says that in order for dhcp to work you must start dhcpd,
am I reading this correctly. I assumed that dhcpd would provide
DHCP for the private network (in my case), I did not think that
my default gateway would rely on dhcpd in order to function.
Now I have 2 questions:
*must I configure dhcpd now?
*must I configure dns (resolv.conf, named, etc.)?
*does DHCP rely on the two configurations list above to data?
Thank you in advance for your help?

Wrap your likes around 72 characters.
All you need in /etc/rc.conf is:
network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP
Everything else you added is just re-affirming the default values.

Hi All,
I've been researching this issue although it may be minor I don't like to rely on
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] unless I have to. I'm sure you understand...anyway,
http:www.freebsddiary.com has a tutorial that with info I could not find in The
Complete FreeBSD or Absolute BSD. It described two entries; one in dhclient.conf
and the other in rc.conf. See Below:
###
dhclient.conf
###
interface dc0{
send host-name redgate;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name,
time-servers;
require domain-name-servers;
###
rc.conf
###
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP #IS THIS VARIABLE DECLARATION CASE SENSITIVE???
hostname=redgate
###
The question I have now is if this is all I have to do to get dhcp running at
startup? I anyone else has any suggestions they are welcome. Unfortunately I cannot
test this until the evening so feedback will be very helpful and will save me some
time researching. Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have installed FreeBSD 4.10 to serve as a headless gateway/router/firewall/NAT.
The first problem that I have run into can probably be resolved easily. I tried to
configure my NIC card via sysinstaller. However, rc.conf does not have a startup
variable for dc0. Therefore dhclient is inoperable.
I built this box to be headless therefore it is low-tech with no floppy or flash
drive and is currently a stand-alone machine so I am not able to copy the rc.conf
file to this post. dc0 is working because I can bring its status to active
manually: '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig dc0 ether up'.
I was wondering what what variables should be assigned to rc.conf, the related
variables I have thus far are:
##
ifconfig_dc0=dhcp
dhcp_program=/sbin/dhclient
dhcp_flags=
##
It would be appreciated if someone could attach or copy an rc.conf file for a
similar system configuration. Thanks in advance.

Who manages your DHCP server? The config I described has worked in every configuration I've ever dealt with (and that's quite a few) so there is definately something external causing the problem. I have an Earthlink Highspeed Cable account w/ DHCP Server Did you install a packet filter when you set this box up? Yes, however I turned firewall to [firewall_enable=NO] and commented all firewall entries in the rc.conf file. If you don't have a DHCP _server_ on your network, then the DHCP _client_ will not be able to to its job. Earthlink should provide a DHCP server, when I had my standalone redhat box it was configured and I was also receiving DNS as well through earthlink. What do you suggest I do? -Original Message- From: Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 12, 2004 11:45 AM To: Hakim Z.

Did you install a packet filter when you set this box up? Look through /etc/rc.conf for anything related to firewall. Turn off all firewall rules while you're setting things up. Once it works, you can start turning security stuff like that back on.

I assumed that dhcpd would provide DHCP for the private network (in my case), I did not think that my default gateway would rely on dhcpd in order to function. DHCP only works if there is a DHCP server. DO NOT run more than 1 DHPC server on a single network or everything is likely to go to hell. Most cheesy internet routers that people buy include a DHCP server. If you provide more information about what your network setup is, we can tell you whether you need a DHCP server or not. But the simple answer is: DHCP won't work unless there is a DHCP server somewhere. Now I have 2 questions: *must I configure dhcpd now? Maybe not. Does the network you're plugging in to require DHCP? *must I configure dns (resolv.conf, named, etc.)? No. If you don't mind using IP addresses for everything. If you want to be able to use hostnames (such as www.yahoo.com) then you need DNS. *does DHCP rely on the two configurations list above to data? Huh? The two lines I provided are enough to configure FreeBSD to be a DHCP _client_. Any additional configuration is just tweaking its behaviour and and is almost never required. If you don't have a DHCP _server_ on your network, then the DHCP _client_ will not be able to to its job. If you have a very small network (how many computers are here anyway?) a DHCP server is probably more work than it's worth. If you are plugged into a larger network (such a the Internet through an ISP) then either a) your ISP's DHCP isn't working right or b) your ISP isn't using DHCP or c) your ISP is doing something to enforce security, such as registering MAC addresses, and you aren't registered correctly or d) something bizaar that I've never seen before. Again, if you could provide some information on how you're trying to set things up, we could provide less general answers. -- 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: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???
You must really like the # symbol. Actually what I realized is that these posts end up on google searches and all sorts of places all across the web. Since people maybe referencing these threads to help solve their problems I take little extra time to make sure that my posts are legible reads as well as I can make at the time and organized in a way to use at your terminal if necessary. Have you tested basic network connectivity? I installed FreeBSD on Tuesday Night and on monday I had Redhat running perfectly fine on the same network connection and cable. I reduced it either to ipfiltering or cable modem (both likely candidates). Do you get all the proper lights on both your NIC and the cable modem? Yes on dc0 I do, however I not familiar with the other two 3COM XL txp0, txp1. But I'm trying to connect to dc0. -Original Message- From: Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 12, 2004 10:21 AM To: Hakim Z.

An acceptable resolution is VESA_800x600 (I do not think that the kernel can do more at the moment?). To enable it you have to recompile your kernel with option SC_PIXEL_MODE enabled (so you can use the raster text mode). Then load the vesa support with kldload vesa and try vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600. If it is o.k. for you put in your /etc/rc.conf file: allscreens_flags=-g 100x37 VESA_800x600 and add to /boot/loader.conf: vesa_load=YES to load the vesa module at startup.

Re: DHCP and rc Questions For FreeBSD 4.10???
Hi All,
I've been researching this issue although it may be minor I don't like to rely on the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] unless I have to. I'm sure you understand...anyway,
http:www.freebsddiary.com has a tutorial that with info I could not find in The
Complete FreeBSD or Absolute BSD. It described two entries; one in dhclient.conf
and the other in rc.conf. See Below:
###
dhclient.conf
###
interface dc0{
send host-name redgate;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name,
time-servers;
require domain-name-servers;
###
rc.conf
###
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP #IS THIS VARIABLE DECLARATION CASE SENSITIVE???
hostname=redgate
###
The question I have now is if this is all I have to do to get dhcp running at startup?
I anyone else has any suggestions they are welcome. Unfortunately I cannot test this
until the evening so feedback will be very helpful and will save me some time
researching. Thanks in advance.

Wrap your likes around 72 characters.
All you need in /etc/rc.conf is:
network_interfaces=lo0 dc0
ifconfig_dc0=DHCP
Everything else you added is just re-affirming the default values.

Questions on IPFW???
Hey guys, Question, when NAT overloading is it possible to use only IPFW rules to pass TCP/UDP packects to remote ip addresses within the network? Or do you have to use natd...because IPFW allows you to execute the following for example: ip from 192.168.99.100 80 to 192.168.99.101 9981 or even in conjunction with a dummynet rule of somesort?

Re: Questions on IPFW???
Hello Chuck, I was wondering if someone could help me answer some questions I have concerning IPFW vs. natd I am trying to allow my FreeBSD 4.10 gateway to perform port forwarding for SSH, SQL*Net and Webservice (Web not as important yet). I wanted to know if I can use IPFW as opposed to natd to redirect or pass TCP UDP (is ICMP out of the question???) to a remote location. Gateway::192.0.0.1:22 -- remote server 192.0.0.5:22 or 192.0.0.5:9881 for instance. From the configuration of ipfw it appears that it can be done instead of using natd. Any suggestions or corrections of my logic welcome. Thanks in advance. HZS -Original Message- From: Chuck Swiger [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Aug 3, 2004 12:40 PM To: Hakim Z.

It is possible to use only IPFW rules to pass TCP UDP packets from one interface to another using the fwd action. However, note that: The fwd action does not change the contents of the packet at all. In particular, the destination address remains unmodified, so packets forwarded to another system will usually be rejected by that system unless there is a matching rule on that system to capture them. For packets forwarded locally, the local address of the socket will be set to the original destination address of the packet. This makes the netstat(1) entry look rather weird but is intended for use with transparent proxy servers. Or do you have to use natd...because IPFW allows you to execute the following for example: ip from 192.168.99.100 80 to 192.168.99.101 9981 That's the body of an IPFW rule which matches packets with those attributes. Without an action (allow, deny, fwd), what you've written isn't a complete rule: it doesn't mean anything by itself. or even in conjunction with a dummynet rule of somesort? Um. Do you understand the question you are asking? I don't-- perhaps try using a complete sentence. Better yet, why don't you tell us what your network looks like and what you want to do.

Re: Questions on IPFW???
Actually Chuck, You answered my question, I wanted to know which was better to use with port forwarding (ipfw or natd) and based on what you wrote, natd is a better fit due to the fact that I would not have to force the other machine to accept packets redirected from the NAT box using natd.

With regard to your other question, if you want an external connection to, say, port 22 to be forwarded to port 22 on some machine on your internal network, use: redirect_port tcp 192.0.0.5:22 22 ...in /etc/natd.conf or your natd_flags in /etc/rc.conf. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
