post install issues (Network card)
I've recently installed FBSD on a Sony VAIO laptop. I have a Kingston Network pc card installed. The install goes fine, but can someone tell me why: 1. during the network interfaces configuration the pc card is noticed as ed1 instead of ed0? Shouldnt it be ed0. or does it matter? 2. after the install is complete, and the system reboots back to a login prompt... in the login field I get a pccard[50] ed1 device started. Why does it do that? Why does that message come up before I even login? Please help me :( __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

logitech usb mouse and thumb button
is there any way to get the thumb button on certain logitech mouseman products enabled, and made to be the back button in mozilla? i have this setup in win2k and am finding it hard to live without in freebsd 4.7. i did manage to get the wheel middle button working as the scroll button, but then i got stuck, and cannot find the pertinent information. thanks, c man kan tune et filsystem, men man kan ikke tunfisk, bsd tunefs manpage To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The ongoing saga of getting DSL up and running... ping: sendto: Permission denied
i seem to have managed to get my DSL connection established with ppp, finally. the german T-Online how-to page got me up and running with that. when i dial in with ppp, i get a PPP prompt, ie. all caps, which i presume means that i have a functioning connection. now i just have to figure out why i cannot browse, but i haven't started examining this problem yet, because i noticed something strange: at some point ping started returning this error: ping: sendto: Permission denied to my knowledge i am not running a firewall like ipfw (nothing related to firewalls in rc.conf), i *am* logged in as root, and the above error message is even returned when i ping localhost! it does the same for my local network card. i suspect something in my ppp fiddling to have done this, because it did work properly earlier (much earlier). does anyone have any ideas not related to firewalls or not being logged in as root? thanks, c To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: The ongoing saga of getting DSL up and running... ping: sendto: Permission denied
| As root, type ipfw show | If this lists rules, you may have inadvertently set yourself up | with a deny all firewall. [...] | If this is the case, I'd put in rc.conf: | firewall_enable=YES | firewall_type=OPEN | which is a quick fix for the issue. ah! i had no idea that the firewall could suddenly be running without my telling freebsd to start it up. or, i probably told it to start it up without realising, is more likely. | does anyone have any ideas not related to firewalls or not being | logged in as root? | | Well, if you don't like my other answer, you don't have to try it, | but I suggest it because the circumstance you describe seems to | indicate that as the cause. i do like your answer :) i just thought i had ruled it out. i do have a customised kernel, and it is likely that i have added it there, thinking that at some point i wanted to look into the technology. perhaps that is why it was running. anyway, it turns out that my other inept fiddlings mysteriouly resulted in that being the only problem, and i can now browse as well. thanks a lot for your help. now i just have to figure out why mozilla 1.3a (sometimes?) won't take keystrokes in the url entryfield, and in forms as well. c To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

getting DSL working
okay, retrying with no mime attachments. blew a synapse. i have installed FreeBSD 4.7, customised X a bit, installed xmms from a port to start getting used to the system, and now i am ready for a bigger challenge: an internet connection. i have the handbook, and have read and executed the section on PPPoE (which is what i presume i need to do for getting DSL running). my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7VRXP) has a built-in RealTek ethernet port which seems to install correctly during bootup (how can i test it?), and tells me that it is rl0. i am in germany and have a Telekom 300 LAN DSL modem, and will be connecting to 1und1, in case anyone is familiar with this setup. i have added the lines to the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as in the manual (is it out of date for 4.7, it describes 4.5), with a couple of minor areas of uncertainty. the line: set device PPPoE:rl0 i presume this is what i do with this line. the other line i am not so sure about is the: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 it follows the manual, so i guess it is right. it just seems odd, since this has nothing to do with my system. anyway, running ppp from the commandline and then typing 'dial myprovider' yields the logfile below. i replaced my userid with X, but it is my login name in the ppp.conf file. if anyone could help me out, i would be very appreciative. as background, i am doing this to a large extent as a learning experience, so while it would be great to be on the net with FreeBSD, it is at least as important to me to learn and understand what is going on. i simply have no networking experience, so i don't understand the output, and as usual the man pages are great for people who already know most of the stuff but just need to find an option or two, but less good for someone who is learning from scratch. i am not adverse to reading lots of material, as long as it is well written and informative. any links and/or references would thus be appreciated (the man pages will have to come later, once i have the fundamentals understood). a good book would be a Good Thing. thanks in advance. --- ppp ON zeus dial einsundeins Phase: bundle: Establish Phase: deflink: closed - opening Phase: deflink: Connected!

why do port installation attempts ignore my cd? (freebsd 4.7)
disclaimer: i am a freebsd newbie. although i have installed and used linux in the past, and work daily on unix at work, i have little sysadmin experience. although in the manual it mentions that ports such as kermit cannot be included on the cd, it seems that ports which i think should be on the cd still end up with an attempt to access the net (which i am not yet hooked up to, having decided to try simpler things first). more specifically, i have freebsd 4.7, the 4-cd set, and i am trying to install xmms. i noticed that through the sysinstall, xcdplayer is offered, yet even for this one, if i go to /usr/ports/audio/xcdplayer [whatever version] (i am mailing this from win2k, as i am not yet up to speed in freebsd enough to mail from there), it still looks first on some ftp sites, and completely ignores my cd. i have mounted my first cdrom drive, and can see the files through the /cdrom link, yet the ports installation (go to dir, type make or make install) ignores the existence of it completely, and i cannot figure out what i have done wrong. i kinda fumbled my way through the installation, using the handbook, 2nd edition, which i purchased, but there is still the possibility that i installed my ports collection somehow wrong. i tried to rectify this possibility by reinstalling it, but the result is the same. can anyone give me a pointer? thanks in advance, c To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
