Thank you Hi, Yes it is possible though I won't claim to have done it myself but you would probably be best to start off by looking into a program like racoon or something then set up each machine with the private keys or certificates.

Re: connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
On Sat, 12 Mar 2005 19:27:51 -0800 Edwin D. Vinas [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thus: Hello everyone! I have a FreeBSD-4.10 machine and a newly connected DSL with static ip address. The DSL connection setup uses an ADSL modem (SMC7901BRA) which has 1 connection to my phone line and 1 connection to my LAN card using UTP cable. In Windows XP setup, the process of setting up Internet is just as easy as configuring the TCP/IP prpoerties with the static ip address given to me and other details such as gateway, dns, subnet mask etc. My machine has a dual-boot WinXP and FreeBSD-4.10. As I've said above, I can easily connect to the Internet using the WinXP. But, I want to try FreeBSD to connect to the Internet, but it doesn't work. Here's what I did to test if I can connect to Internet via DSL using FreeBSD: 1. Reboot or boot to FreeBSD-4.10 2. Login as root 3. /stand/sysinstall to assign IP address, gateway, and dns 4. Reboot machine to make sure new IP settings take effect 5. Do an ifconfig and see that the IP settings are correct 6. I can ping my own IP address (static IP address of the DSL assigned by my ISP) 7. When I try to ping the ISP's given gateway, I receive ping to: Host is down. 8. Seeing the modem status, the LAN and SYNC signals are up but the DATA is off. I have tried searching the net with FreeBSD+DSL but all I can read is about PPPoE which requires a username and password which I don't have. My DSL account is an always on account with a static IP address and I guess it doesnt have a username/password for connection to the ISP. Does FreeBSD need to detect my DSL modem if it is connected to the NIC using a UTP cable connected to the modem? Here's my setup: [DSL modem]-[DSL Provider] (provides static IP address) | | | [FreeBSD's LAN card] Here's the modem's technical description: https://secure.quicksolve.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=products_id=2991 http://sg.hardwarezone.com/priceguide/info.php?cid=113id=11104 Does anybody has an experience connecting FreeBSD to a DSL with a static IP address and has similar setup above? Actually my real purpose is to use FreeBSD as LAN gateway using the DSL connection. But I wanna try first connecting the FreeBSD machine as a stand-alone PC which uses the simple setup above. If this setup works, the gateeway setup will surely work too. Thank you very much! Just out of curiosity did your ISP give you a username and passwd ? Did your ISP provide the DSL Modem ?

Re: Setting hostname - fake and real

For ages I've had the line in rc.conf hostname=potato.fake_domain.net (not exactly, but you see what I mean...) and I've had no problems with it at all. Recently I've tried to set up sendmail, only so I can test php or perl scripts that send emails! Sending to localhost works fine, but mail to an external address is returned by the remote domain because it couldn't verify my domain. Very sensible, I could be a spammer. So I edited rc.conf to say hostname=potato.real_domain.net that is, I used the name of a real domain which is registered to me. The domain is hosted on the net, but AFAIK they don't have a machine called potato. Now apache won't start and I get weird errors in other things, like shutting down X even! Can anyone help? Thanks very much, Ben Hello Ben Sounds like you might need some DNS magic here. I am not entirely sure I understand why you would want to use fake dns names. It won't really work properly and if testing scripts that send mail is the goal then a FQDN is probably a good idea. Do you control the DNS for your 'real' domain? If so add your host potato and if possible get a reverse DNS entry to match. For apache and X edit /etc/hosts and put the real information there and your problems should go away.

Thanks Just read what hardware is supported to date, buy it, then you can't go wrong. Pretty easy, aye? Sadly, no. Vendor's have changed chipsets without changing model numbers or documenting the chipsets used on retail boxes. Further, many of the pci cards that are documented as being compatible with FreeBSD are no longer easy to find. The advantages of a hardware access point include: 1. Access and firewall configuration are done easily via a web browser. 2. They are OS-neutral. For anyone running FreeBSD 5* who needs a new wireless card (pci or pccard), I would suggest looking at the D-Link products that use the Atheros chipset. D-Link is displaying the Atheros logo on the retail boxes, which lowers the risk of a bad purchasing decision. (I'm not an advocate for D-Link or Atheros; but I am in favor of more useful information on retail boxes.) I prefer NetGear - woiks well for me... The whole plan is a bit more complicated by the fact that much of the _known to be supported_ hardware is not available in Japan or sold under different model numbers. One end of the link will be FBSD the other a linux machine so two cards are needed and these must be supported by the respective OS'es. After googling for hours on this the only common thread I can get is that these orinoco or prism chipsets seem to be well supported but there is very little information on the vendors websites to indicate which product uses which chipset. The other thread was that the atheros chipset seemed to be well regarded but before heading off to buy some kit I was *hoping* to hear from someone else on list who has used the elecom cards (specifically the LD-WL5411A/B ) or anything else based on the AR5001X+ chipset and had success with it.

First pass on your mail suggests that maybe you can connect to the network but cannot get out of it. Personally I use dstumbler to get the network associated then I need to config by hand and add a default route.

It will allow you to replicate file trees pretty much on demand across a LAN or indeed the internet should you choose to.

My local IP addresses keep changing (didn't have this problem before until a firmware update), and I don't want them to. I got these spammy winboxes that greedily race for to steal my FreeBSD's lease. I'm using a simple 4-port linksys router here. It's configuration is about useless. Let's say I wanted to be 192.168.1.170 for argument's sake. I turn everything off (router + computers). Set my 'starting IP' to 170. Fire the FreeBSD machine up first, let it get 170. Then I turn the dumb winboxes on, and who cares what they have they arn't important. Like a couple of days later, I'll type ifconfig and suddely I got 172 on my FreeBSD box (192.168.1.172) instead of 170. I could turn DHCP off, but then my dhclient takes really really really long to find the network (but it does find it, eventually). How can I setup a more static system here without the long wait for dhclient? Anything in dhclient.conf I can put in there? I want to disable dhcp, but I need to figure out how to efficiently get the connection going on, and basically, I havn't owned FreeBSD in the pre-dhcp era, so I wouldn't know how. I would think that the best way to do this would be to add a static IP to your rc.conf file. It's pretty simple edit rc.conf and change the line which says ifconfig_yourinterface0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 changing the address to suit your situation. It might then also help if you alter the DHCP servers address range so that you don't accidentally get conflicts.

Re: Frontpage and jails and possible alternatives
On Thu, 10 Jun 2004 10:38:18 -0400 Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] granted us these pearls of wisdom: I just learned that if you run Apache+Frontpage, you can't teach Apache to only listen on a single IP address. For some reason, Frontpage causes Apache to always bind to all IP addresses. Somehow, this stupidity doesn't really surprise me too much. The reason I wanted to do this is because I have a machine I want to set jails up on, so I can run multiple instances of Apache. But I didn't want to mess with the existing Apache installation right now. Anyway ... in the long run I've got two choices: 1) Get Apache+Frontpage running in a jail so it will quit fscking up the other stuff I'm trying to do on this machine 2) Find some alternative to frontpage to provide frontpage services that behaves like a proper server. My questions are (respectively): 1) Does anyone have Apache+Frontpage successfully running in a jail? I just thought I'd ask before I spent (wasted?) a lot of time trying to make it work. 2) Can anyone suggest an alternative to Apache+Frontpage? I prefer scp myself (and there are even spiffy GUI scp clients for Windows) but many of these clients _insist_ on using Frontpage, so I _must_ continue to cater to them. TIA for any answers. Sorry if this is off track but one wonders if you need to have clients upload to a production box with FP. Can you set up a staging server so that clients can upload and view content then give them a simple admin page where they can push a button that sets off an rsync script to the production box.

Re: Wisdom of automating upgrades
On Tue, 8 Jun 2004 23:02:31 +0800 (CST) Stephen Liu [EMAIL PROTECTED] spake thus: Hi folks, This is an interesting topic. On Tue, 8 Jun 2004, Peter Risdon wrote: The main cost of having computers for most companies lies not in software or hardware, but in support. I have been pondering the wisdom of automating the upgrade process, so that sources are cvsup'ed nightly and make buildworld buildkernel etc and portupgrade happen overnight maybe once a week or month - and perhaps every day a security fix is announced. Windows and Mac users are accustomed to automatic software updates on server products as well as desktops, so there is a competitive issue here. I've persuaded a number of companies to switch to FreeBSD and want to ensure the commercial logic of doing so is as complete as possible. cvsup'ing overnight is routine and fine. The make build/install stuff seems a bit more delicate. I'm happy that I have figured out how to automate this, but not _whether_ I should do so. I am of course only considering tracking RELENG_4 at this stage. Ports are perhaps more likely to be problematic (though less likely to be a blocker to remote fixing than a failure to boot). Having said that, deprecation of versions and ports is fairly rare and keeping track of a small group in common use is feasible. I'd be grateful for any input on this. I can picture waking up to find that every machine I administrate is simultaneously *#!$%ed one morning. On the other hand, I like to provide the best value I can for clients and at the moment I have to charge for my time whenever an upgrade is necessary. You may want to have a look at freebsd-update. Its a binary updater, Client/Server config, the server code and info on what it is, is available from http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ and the client is in ports. Is there a way updating all installed ports automatically wheneven the server/workstation is booted and connected to Internet, similar to ntp synchronizing the clock. B.R. Stephen Liu in theory it should be possible to write a script that runs portupgrade and then run it once at boot time from cron but I have never done it personally. I can see some potential for disaster if it is not done with extreme care.

Re: ethernet card not coming up on reboot
entry for sk0!! As I stated at the begimming of this epic, this is merely an annoyance. I don't reboot all that often and when I do I usually log in as a normal user. Of course, at that time, I am not able to access the network and have logout and log back in as root in order to use sysinstall. Has anyone run into this before? I have also attached a copy of dmesg if anyone is still reading. :-) Thanks Robert Hi, from my tiny amount of experience each time you use /stand/sysinstall it will append your changes to the existing rc.conf file. In reality that interface only needs to be mentioned once. If you remove all but one of the ifconfig_sk0 lines will the interface obtain it's IP when you reboot?

who's your ISP? If your ISP is ubersoft then it is probably they who
would need to do this for you. If your the domain owner and you have
been assigned a range of IP's with your internet connectivity service
then likely you will have to do this yourself. Did you set up the DNS
for this domain? It may be that your provider simply hasn't delegated
the reverse zone to your name server for one reason or another.
#nslookup 196.31.69.30
Server: localhost.meibin.net
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost.meibin.net can't find 196.31.69.30: Non-existent host/domain

The Question [ I would appreciate it very much if someone could provide a step-by-step guide for enabling Japanese input into a terminal window, using a jvim or other japanese enabled vi-like editors. I'm not particular about the server (canna, wnn6, etc.) it just has to work. Also, although i'd prefer to stick with a vi-like editor, i would be ok with an emacs solution as well. ] Some Information [ I'm currently using - FreeBSD 4.9 - Enlightenment 0.16 - i386 Architecture ] http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html http://redundancy.redundancy.org/fbsd_japanese.html http://tronweb.super-nova.co.jp/jpnimintro.html are the main URL's I used to get it working however there are _so_ many variables. You need to work through this for yourself. A tip if you will is to use Mozilla which seems to live with the JP input better than anything else. My Handicap [ I'm very new, so please, try not to gloss over things (e.g. rather than say go to the ports directory say go to /usr/ports/). I've read documentation that said type abc but never said where. And some that have said the configuration file but gave a path. ] Thank you very much Akbar Nope, your handicap is your inability to google for information. This is not an OS that does everything for you. You have to be prepared to read, try, accept that what you tried didn't work first time, try again, read more. JP input in FreeBSD is once you get it,is not particularly tough but if you won't even google for information then you really are in a tight spot and everything you try to do with Unix will be a chore. There are plenty of good places on the web that will teach you how to do this but in order to be able to get it working correctly you need to understand how a Unix machine deals with Kanji and to understand the relationship between the environment settings and the OS. Be prepared to read more, you will get it eventually. -- Luke Kearney [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My question is that currently they are using a windows imail server (uhg) I want to move them to a unix platform using FBSD with qmail, sqwebmail, etc ...as well all the nice system utilities that can work with qmail... 1. Can 1 FBSD box after a default install (without compiling the kernel) handle 50,000 users using webmail smtp pop3 ? Do you really expect that much concurrent usage? I'd be thinking to break it up a little. how bout breaking up inbound vs outbound just for a start. I'd be tempted to have a machine that only send, one that receives and delivers and one different one that serves webmail. 2. If i were to move say the IMAP process the webmail interface to a second FBSD box ...how would you go about configuring qmail smtp pop3 to use the second FBSD box for webmail requesets? I cannot see any reason to break up pop3 and imap between different machines unless you intend to run some kind of common storage between them all which seems like more work than its worth. I know this is kinda out of the realm of the list (questions on qmail) however in the past this list has been the best resourse for any question concerning Freebsd...if anyone knows of a better place to ask these questions id be most thankful :-) ANY help is very appreciated take a look at Matt Simpsons toaster page I think if you throw a few extra dollars at the one box you might even get away with one. http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/ HTH -- Luke Kearney [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I exited SYSINSTALL and ran the config option on XFree86, finding out that the generated log shows that its erroring out on the Monitor/Video Card initialization. I can't find a monitor in the database that matches my ATI Radion IGP345M PCI monitor, and none of the display settings specifically match my 800/600 60 hz + 1028/768 60 hz setting. One display setting had 800/600 76 hz + 1028/768 60 hz setting, and that was the closest one so I tried it. I also tried VGA as the monitor, but it stilled failed. What monitor, card and display settings should use? Sony should have specification information on their website, note down specifically the vert and horizontal frequencies and the graphic adaptor make and model and you should be OK to go. It is unlikely that you will get the settings correct first time without this exact information.

The machine itself sits near another machine that is on permanently but apart from other computers no heat source is nearby.

Hardware problems or Software problems
Hello, I have a server which recently died on me. I believed that the problem was likely the memory as the machine would reboot of its own accord initially when accessing via samba or NFS. Then I noticed that it would reboot when under no load. Given that the motherboard and CPU etc was pushing three years old it seemed like a good opportunity to upgrade to some newer kit I had. I installed a new ASUS P4800 motherboard with a celeron 2.20ghz chip and brandnew 512mb memory. Now again whilst under no load at all it will freeze. The only original parts are the HDD's. My difficulty is that nothing is left in the logs or on std out. If it is the disks I will reluctantly replace but I cannot see why disks would cause a reboot and leave nothing logged such as a time out or anything. Are there any specific commands I can issue during start up to increase the verbosity of logging to try to capture the root cause for this ? Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks, akshay. Hi, you have a number of options open to you, you can try a POP3 installation, you could get adventurous and go for IMAP. A Webmail setup is also one way to deal with your situation. You could even get really carried away and install all of the above. A quick check in the ports dir and qpopper is available as is solidpop3d and a number of others. I guess the trick is for you to work out which one suits your situation best. FWIW webmail can be a bit cumbersome at times your users might prefer POP3 or IMAP.

Not sure what's up with that, but I'm curious if there's a way to log what IP address this is coming from. I don't have IPFW enabled yet as I haven't had the time to configure it at this point as it's currently behind the company firewall on our T3. Is there a way to log where it's coming from? Or is that already being logged somewhere? I wonder if you might get some benefit from a couple of simple IPF rules and a quick portsentry install. /etc/ipf.rules pass in log on interface0 from any to any pass out log on interface0 from IP to any with the appropriate startup would give you a good idea of the IP address the scan is comming from.

I have initially set the box up on my home network and have set this box to use my gateway temporarily while I fetch some ports etc. Now that I have removed it from my network, and edited /etc/rc.conf to set it up to act as a gateway, it STILL sets the default route to my old gateway. I cant find any config file that says add default route or anything. I have not set defaultroute in /etc/rc.conf, and it is set to NO in /etc/defaults/rc.conf! If I use /stand/sysinstall to configure the interface, I notice that there is a value already there for the ipV4 gateway (my gateway). deleting this here does not work. There must be a file somewhere that I have not seen causing me the trouble. Please help! AFAIK the only place you need to make changes is /etc/rc.conf then either reboot or sh /etc/netstart and you should be good to go. You could manually add that route though whilst the machine is up, # route add default 192.168.X.X and that should be OK too. what is the output of netstat -rn ?

I have had some difficulties with machines with multiple NIC's and have in the past resorted to altering routing information via rc.local rather than rc.conf I am 99.% confident that rc.conf is the only place to specify your gateways unless you wanna hack everything via rc.local I get the picture with the reboots, there is one other thing you might try and that is to specify the default gateway as an interface rather than an IP address. eg:- route add default -interface tun0 this is what i did via rc.local and it hasn't missed a beat yet. I believe that rc.local runs after rc.conf and is executed line by line so in the worst case you could try route delete default route add default -interface vx0 HTH LukeK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a newer desktpo machine that i will have to download the files with. Then i will Laplink them over to my laptop and setup FBSD from there. Will this work? And secondly, How do i download the files?! Clicking on them in my browser does not help. Thanks! Hi, As far as I can see you have a multitude of options available to you. You should contemplate one of two options :- An FTP install if you have sufficient bandwidth or patience. You can create bootable floppy disks from files on the FreeBSD ftp server and then work through the install OR Download an ISO image and make a bootable CD from this and install accordingly. You did not say whether your laptop has either a floppy drive or CD drive that can be booted from. To download an ISO image you might want to investigate using an FTP client program SmartFTP comes to mind as a simple but effective tool at a great price ( $00.00 ). Before doing all of this I do suggest that you take a very close look at your hardware and compare it against the list of known supported devices. Assuming you want a machine that is good for something other than CLI practice that is. The other option you have and one you might like to seriously consider is to buy a copy of The Complete FreeBSD or FreeBSD unleashed both of which come with a CD Rom containing the OS and pretty comprehensive step by step instructions to get you up and running.

Re: Ooops - Re: while I have your attention... Names, copyright and IPv6
On Mon, 24 Nov 2003 12:43:11 +1100 paul van den bergen [EMAIL PROTECTED] granted us these pearls of wisdom: as usual, there has been a bit of a misunderstanding... being a loosely typed language, Engliosh is difficult to communicate in :-0 Names, addresses and DNS are obviously different things. I understand where IPv6 addresses come from (sort of). I understand (sort of) how IPv6 works for DNS records relating names to IPv6 addresses what I was really asking is: in the IPv4 world, name brokers sell names that are then related to IPv4 addresses. Legality of the name choice etc. is generally owner onus... Is there a similar sort of (or coincident) naming authority for IPv6 based names? example. if I operate a network, boxen1.example.org, boxen2.example.org, etc., as an IPv4 address space and a second coincident network, boxen1.example6.org, boxen2.example6.org, etc., as an IPv6 based address space, where does the authority to allocate the IPv6-network based names reside? the technical side of it is clear... someone somewhere needs to keep a track of the names... anyway, this is straying somewhat from the core subject matter of this list... On Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:30 am, Cordula's Web wrote: how does this all work under IPv6? is the IPv6 domain name allocation as fully fledged as teh IPv4 services? I.e. are there and what are the restrictions on who can set up a name broker service for IPv6? what are the likely gottchas? I don't know for sure here, so please take this with a grain of salt: IPv6 addresses are represented by instead of A records in DNS nameservers. Right now, I think that you can only point .org (and other [cc]TLD) nameservers to nameservers residing on an IPv4 address [anyone correct me if I'm wrong here]. But you could always configure your nameservers (let's say ns1.bergen.org, ns2.bergen.org) to return IPv6 addresses to some names, by adding records to them. But since IPv6 names are not (yet) globally routed on the Internet, this will have local meaning only (e.g. on an intranet). Generally speaking: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are _never_ allocated by name brokers or DNS systems. They reside at a much lower level, which has nothing to do with _names_. If you connect to the Internet, your upstream provider(s) will assign to you IPv4 address blocks automatically. You would normally not be able to influence this, because it is deeply intertwined with the routing protocols that all network operators use to transmit data on the Internet. You may ask how network operators get their IP address blocks. Check out IANA: http://www.iana.org/ especially: http://www.iana.org/ipaddress/ip-addresses.htm AFAIK domain names have little to do with your choice of IPV4 or IPV6. There can be only one registered owner of any given domain name and that domain name space could be either v4 or v6 at the discretion of the owner.

Hey, sounds like you understand things so well you see the void in the forest. As a newbie I'm still just trying to keep my head from twisting off at long enough intervals to define some of the questions. Like, given I have 5 boxes - 1 fbsd 4 windoz though maybe that proportion will change in a time :) - and each has their own ip adr and I have two apaches installed does that mean I can setup a max of 5 different domain level websites on my intranet? Or 10? Or infinite (well, this is reality I hope so...) The daemons are afoot, my ponderings do not affect them. Hi, Let me see if I can shed some light on this issue for you. To the best of my knowledge a FBSD system can have only one hostname however it can have as many aliases as you wish. The setup of aliases is acheived via DNS rather than assigning hostnames per interface. Where you have multiple machines you would assign multiple hostnames whether they be from different domains or not. $ host mail.meibin.net mail.meibin.net is a nickname for kyoto.meibin.net kyoto.meibin.net has address 220.111.132.28 per the above the actual host name for the system is kyoto, it's FQDN is kyoto.meibin.net and it has the alias of mail.meibin.net rather than the host name of mail.meibin.net . Apache and loads of other software support virtual hosting and defining a name in an apache configuration has little to do with the actual underlying system hostname. That being said virtual hosts don't work well if DNS was not set correctly for them.

Finally when I look for my fbsd box by ip adr on win find computer it now finds it - also not accessible. Looks like I did something right and something wrong. (stating the painfully obvious). Let me ask a couple of really silly questions. Did you actually set up a user account ?

Is this normal behavior? more /var/log/dmesg.today|grep mbd yields nothing; looking at /var/log/log.nmbd the line most definately not normal behaviour. smbd should be spawing a process as root ie the master process and then one process per user so if you cannot see smbd running then I cannot see how you can hope to connect sucessfully. nmbd is the netbios name daemon so if that is running you should be able to see the computer but without smbd you cannot connect.

Older motherboards often have ultra33 disk controllers etc etc. how many processes are writing to and reading from the same disk (s) ? One lesson I learnt was that you cannot underestimate the value of a good NIC. I don't want to start any religious wars but I had used realtek based NICs for the longest time and when I changed to 3Com I noticed a full 2Mbps increase in speed on the same hardware. Having said all of that when copying a large file - say 700mb I can copy from windows to FBSD (both using 3Com) via a samba share and it takes about 6mins per file, the same file between FBSD and FBSD via another FBSD router takes only 2 2.5 mins over rsync so as Alex mentioned perhaps the way you are transferring files has something to do with it.

Anyone have a simple to follow doc or set of guidelines to setup net-snmp to be monitored by Openview? There shouldn't be any configuration needed. By default, net-snmp will output stats for network interfaces, disk usage, CPU load, memory/swap usage, and active processes. How to get all that stuff monitored by OpenView I have no idea. If it is anything like Compaq's Inside Manager, you should only need to set the SNMP community string in the FreeBSD SMNP Deamon. How this is done I am not sure. There should be a way for you to set the read only and full controll community strings. Then just add the server like you would any other server in Open View. you will need to setup your snmpd.conf file properly with the appropriate community strings and acl's. The should be a tool to assist with this. I installed from source so my conf file is /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf but your might be under /usr/local/etc there should be a script that was installed to help with config - I just cannot remember what it is called, a search on the snmpd home page might reveal some more clues.

Wireless setups
Hi There, I have recently installed 4.8R on my IBM Thinkpad notebook which fortunately includes a wireless NIC. The nic is recognised as wi0 for which I am grateful as Linux did not recognise the card first time around. Now I often move between networks and having to set the wepkey and ssid etc etc by hand will become very tiresome very quickly. I was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of a better way to set these. I am guessing that this will still have to be done after the boot but what do people use ? I was able to get the interface up and ping other hosts so no problems there but can this NIC be set for dhcp rather than having to go through the grief of setting everything manually ?

Re: IPF and Routing
Hi There, Yes I have read it several times. I have set up an ipnat.conf file that looks a lot like this bimap192.168.1.10 - 10.0.0.3 bimap192.168.1.11 - 10.0.0.4 and so on and so forth I need to ensure that each internal address gets the same external address each time. I have aliased all of the external addresses to the external interface so I was wondering if this would work or did there need to be additional physical interfaces for this to work properly. I am thinking that there would be no need to have multiple interfaces but I am wondering if it is indeed all that simple. The reason for static NAT is that each internal client needs to connect to a remote VPN server which requires one unique IP for each address ( broken damned M$ VPN server ). Mapping static is not a great problem given that each internal client will get it's address via DHCP. Does this make sense ?

Re: ADSL modem ip addresses
Hi, You need a single machine with two nics to setup as a firewall machine. You should not require a second IP address. If you google for howtos on setting up FreeBSD as a gateway machine/sharing cable/sharing adsl etc etc you will find heaps of easy to follow articles. Furthermore, if your provider will give you a choice then the hardware IMHO of choice is a DSL bridge. Run PPPoE from the FreeBSD machine. FWIW I went from having /29 to a single address and there was a little initial pain in getting the NAT/routing setup appropriately but after pulling out lots of hair it finally works. Whilst on the subject, the kind of stress and overhead that PPPoE puts on a FreeBSD machine is negligible. I have a fibre connection which at times hits 70Mb and the machine ( a lazy PII 300 w 256Mb of RAM ) never gets above 15% CPU usage. So any old machine you have lying around in bits will probably do very nicely.

(or I have seen something about using socket to divert these services to our existing server which has a private address). It's not a wise move to run the services on the same machine as your firewall. You can setup an openbsd machine to serve as your firewall on a very inexpensive old machine, running it as a gateway as well. You can then forward specific ports (80, 25, 110 in your case) to your services machine running either in a DMZ or behind the firewall. Regarding the whole diverting issue, I encourage you to google dual homed hosts I had some pretty favourites on my windows machine but I lost them all when a hard drive died or I'd have some good ones for you. The firewall would have a NIC with a private IP address to connect to the rest of our network. What's the best way then to connect it to the ADSL line?

I setup a machine to act as a gateway/firewall for 5 PC's on a 3mbit dsl line once... on a P120 and it ran flawlessly. You don't need two IP's. Your modem *shouldn't* have to have an IP. If it does, it's because it also acts as a router and hence does the pppoe auth. I suppose you can use that as a router instead.. it's your network ;) I like the flexibility my router provides me however. It's remarkably easy to setup as well. Again I don't have any links right now off-hand, but if you search for pppoe + freebsd + ipnat or something you'll find some very good tutorials. There was this one for a cable connection I used as a guide the first time, and just followed the steps from other sources for setting up PPPoE. Or can we use a USB connection instead - are there FBSD drivers for ADSL modems? I can't see any in the supported hardware list. AFAIK, there is no support (yet?) for a usb modem. I don't like them anyway - I keep my apples with my apples, my oranges with... you guessed it, the oranges. ADSL = network related stuff = runs on Ethernet. Or do we use a combined modem/router device to do the nat firewalling and have it redirect mail, web ssh access to our main server? (is that possible or do such devices not allow access into the network from the 'net?) by default they will not. As I said they work, but I'm not sure the devices that are a modem + router built-in will also include firewalling. Actually quite a few of the SOHO DSL routers I've seen do include simple firewalling but often enough they are only configurable via a browser and have a kind of all or nothing stance. For fine granular control over the firewall it is hard to beat FBSD and IPFilter / IPFW for the price - it just doesn't come with a pretty web interface ( not that you couldn't build one if you had the time or the energy I suppose. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IPF and Routing
Hello, I have question regarding IPNat and routing. The situation is that I need to setup a network where each machine gets a unique global IP address from behind a firewall which performs NAT. I have 16 addresses so my question is can I alias 14 addresses to the primary nic and then config each private address to map directly to one global address or have I missed something fundamental about this ? Any advice is appreciated. TIA LukeK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
