The server is online and working I just cannot seem to figure out why I cannot use http on the box and suspect that is the same reason the other computers on the network cannot access any of the sites on the FreeBSD machine without causing a freeze up. So you cannot access any web page *from* that box either on that box and away ? Please be clear. And when you try to access a page _on_ the box it freezes ? Maybe you have a firewall in between somewhere somehow ? If you're machine is freezing the you have to dig *this* problem. Did you played with sysctl or kernel settings ? Does ftp from or to the box work ? How much RAM do you have ? Did you disable swap ? Do the logs say anything ? I cannot acces any page on the FreeBSD box from the box itself or from any computer on the newtowrk. I can access all other websites outside of the network. After I attempt to access a page on the FreeBSD box from the box or one of the other computers on the netowork, at timeout the router freezes and goes offline. A power reboot fixes till the next time I try to access via http or ftp. If I connect up my XP computer through my dial up account removing it from the router, then I am on different network and I have no problem accessing any of the sites or ftp'ing into the box. I have not done anything with sysctl or kernel settings FTP works from outside the box but not from within the network. I have 256 Megs opf RAM Disable Swap? Looking in the logs httpd-error.log , httpd-access.log, debug.log, ftpd, dmesg.today, security, and messages I find nothing about any errors relating to the problem. In fact I don't even get a log where it tried to access the box in httpd-access.log Is this what you mean by not putting the text ontop and far as I can tell the setting says the message is wrapped 72 characters. did it work this time? Thanks for all, Jeff Do I need to add all the websites to the hosts file? Only if you what to access the by name locally and they are Name Based on apache in which case you have to add them to the hosts of all your computers or setup a dns server. Or the static IP of the box, xxx.xxx.xxx.150? No. Or maybe add the IP of the router? No. The host file contains these items as setup: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.name-of box.com 203.122.142.24 name-of-box.com. Replace name-of-box with the actual name of the box.

Re: Network Help
Thank you for your response Ion-Mihai, On the router question, no, the router is a separate device, a D-Link 504H but is a loaner while my D-Link 804HV is in the shop. After changing them out is when I discovered I had problems. Apparently the DL804 handled whatever the problem was without a complaint. Yes I have been through setup a few times. So far all I have been able to do is take the server off-line. 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. I also had a little help with setup originally and I know there is something of a firewall setup but without know what exactly I would be afraid of interfering with what is there and making a mess of it. Sorry I am such a non-user. Jeff Ion-Mihai Tetcu wrote: On Mon, 10 May 2004 11:24:02 +0930 "Jeffrey P.

Shortly after or at the timeout, the router freezes and I have to power reboot it. This shouldn't happen what ever you configured you box (I mean from networking point of view). I am very sure that this is because I have not properly set it up and the error is just a symptom of that. In rc.conf for settings all I have right now is: ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.0.150 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" I have read a lot about it and suspect this isn't right but really not sure how to make the change. I think it should be: ifconfig_xl0="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"#static IP address ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.150 netmask 255.255.255.0" Well, I don't understand if you use you FreeBSD box as a router or not. If yes, then you should have something like: hostname="buh.cameradicommercio.ro" ifconfig_rl0="inet 81.196.25.19 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_rl1="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="81.196.25.1" where rl0 would be your outside interface connencted to your upstream provider's router with ip address 81.196.25.1 and rl1 would be the inside interface connected to a hub/switch with the internal machines. You would also want to use natd on the router, because 192.168/24 is a private address space. So you would add to you rc.conf: natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="rl0" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" You need FIREWALL="YES" for natd to work.

Great Tip Regarding Asking Questions at FreeBSD
Thank you for the tip Steve. I am really enjoying learning the FreeBSD op system and I try to figure things out myself because then I know them. But it is a steep learning curve when you have no background in Unix and then throw on top of that Apache, MYSQL and PHP at the same time, it becomes a daunting task. I have been trying to understand networking for years though just with Windows and am more confused today then when I started I think. Please see my response to Dave's message. Thank you.

MP3 Help for a Newbie
I have set up FreeBSD and have set up several websites. With the websites on FreeBSD I find that clicking on a link to an .mp3 file does not invoke the clients default .mp3 player. In internet explorer it either gives a blank page or IE asks if you would like their built in media player to play the file. How I would I fix this so that clicking on an .mp3 link does call up the clients default player? All the servers I have rented space on before have done this without fail and this is a completely new problem to me which is not good since our sites deal with multiple sound files and no one can figure out how to play them now. I suspect this has something to do with mime settings but I am very new to this and have no idea. I have spent the past 3 days trying to find something on it but only found info about midi files.
