If you don't have a local network using that address then you might get 'No route to host' type errors, in which case you can attach the hostname as an alias to the loopback interface, just so long as the localhost stuff is there as well: 127.0.0.1 localhost IBM-R40e IBM-R40e.point.ne.jp I am using an IBM Thinkpad...and I use it in the office and of course at home...

device bfe unknown - during compilation of new kernel
Hi, I have an IBM R40e Thinkpad with a dual boot of Windows XP and FreeBSD 5.2... The other day, I installed FreeBSD on the 2nd Partition of my Hard Disk and I found out that the "device bfe" together with "device mii" supports my Internal NIC which is Broadcom NeXtreme Fast Ethernet...I was so happy because I thought I could never make use of my Internal NIC in FreeBSD...and during the boot process it should that it detected it...I decided that I would just let it be for a while and configure it when I get home...But after much thinkingI decided to make my FreeBSD Partition a little bigger...so I installed it again...this time I was not connected to our LAN...and my Internal NIC was not detected...but since I knew it was detected before...and I was to compile my kernel anyway... When I compiled my new kernel...I included the "device bfe" because it was not included with the GENERIC kernel...when I executed the make buildkernel command it complained that "device bfe is unknown"...What am I missing here?...the only thing that I did before compilation was I totally disabled acpi in my /boot/device.hints...is there a connection here? What should I do to make system recognize "device bfe" during compilation...? Thanks in advance for any advice...or help...

vlc installation in /usr/ports/multimedia take too long...
Hi, I was jsut wondering...How LONG does it take for the /usr/ports/multimedia/vlc take to get it installed? I made a make install clean on the afternoon November 1st and since it did not finished immediately I had to leave my PC on until Today, November 4th...The last time I installed OpenOffice from Ports, it did not took me 24 Hours to successfully compile it...but vlc has not stopped yet...Looking at the output, it seems that it is displaying the same outputs (although I could not verify it 100%, because it is displaying quite fast)... Is it normal for a Port to be compiled for 3-4 days? I was just wondering? I would really appreciate if anyone can help me how to verify that my machine is indeed compiling the right way or it is just going in a loop... What if I would kill it...what would happen? Can I start again...compile from the Ports and encounter no problems?...Oh...by the way, I am a Newbie...I do not know how to properly Kill it... Thank for any help in advance... Rommel B.

I'd say that something has quite clearly gone wrong there. You can kill the compilation using 'Ctrl-C' (maybe required several times) -- that's the usual was to kill any misbehaving process under Unix. Before re-trying the compilation, cvsup(1) the latest version of the ports to pick up any fixes that may have gone into the tree in the mean time. Thank you very much...I tried Ctrl-C and with just one try it stopped and said You have Mail. I do not know what happened...I do not use CVSup because I can not...with the networking configurations that we have in the office...I have been dowloading CTM deltas...I will try to ctm today...and use portsdb -Uu to update my ports...

The I stumbled on this address http://www.redundancy.org/fbsd_japanese.html I have already installed the following ports as written in the site: /usr/ports/japanese/Canna /usr/ports/japanese/Eterm /usr/ports/japanese/kinput2-canna /usr/ports/japanese/alias-fonts /usr/ports/japanese/nvi-euc-jp /usr/ports/japanese/w3m /usr/ports/japanese/xyaku I have already Move /usr/local/etc/rc.d/canna.sh.sample to canna.sh. Put "kinput2 " and "xyaku " into .xsession file. Edit the "Files" section of XF86Config. Insert the following line: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" BUT I DO NOT WHAT IS THE MEANING OF FOLLOWING: - Change your hotkey/menu item to start Eterm to the following: XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' LANG=ja_JP.EUC LANGUAGE=en_US Eterm Can anyone give me idea on what this means...

Installation on LaVie NX - NO CD/DVD found!
I have a been trying to install FreeBSD 5.1 into the old NEC LaVie NX laptop that I got from a friend... The installations goes well until I am given an option to choose my Installation Media - which is my builtin CD-ROM... After selecting this Media - a warning message appears that there is "NO CD/DVD found!", although I have already booted from it... I tried to search the internet and found something that I think is related to my problem...I found it in the freebsdforums.org...It says... "The usual cause of this problem is a mis-configured CDROM drive. Many PCs now ship with the CDROM as the slave device on the secondary IDE controller, with no master device on that controller. This is illegal according to the ATAPI specification, but Windows plays fast and loose with the specification, and the BIOS ignores it when booting. This is why the BIOS was able to see the CDROM to boot from it, but why FreeBSD cannot see it to complete the install." Is there anyone who encountered this problem and was able to completely install FreeBSD...of course aside from trying to install it using ftp or http... Thanks for any ideas from anyone... Rommel B.

FreeBSD behind a PROXY and unnatural Proxy Ports settings in ourLAN
Hi to Everyone... First of all I am a NEWBIE to FreeBSD and UNIX... Second, since I successfully had the courage in sending my first Email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have been in constant contact we people who have been trying to help me to solve my problem(s)...and I am very thankful for those people, especially to Jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Aaron Siegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] My probelms are too many of them that I can no longer ask them to help me, for I think I would be being selfish and too much...so, I have finally decided to write to this community again for HELP... I am using my IBM R40e Thinkpad in our office and I am the only one using FreeBSD...The main problem (forgive me I am just assuming the it is the main problem) that I have right now...is that our HTTP Port is set to 10080, FTP Port is set to 10021, POP3 Port is set 10026, SMTP is set to 10111...In using a Web Browser such as Mozilla...I just set my HTTP, FTP, and others in the Preferences...and everything is O.K., about my Emails (I am using Sylpheed), I just set my POP3 to 192.168.1.5.:10026 and SMTP to 192.168.1.5:10111 and everything is O.K. The problem is I am trying to install Ports that I really needed and it seems that I does not work when THOSE PORTS NEEDED TO BE DOWNLOADED USES FTP...How can I set things or my system that our Proxy Server is not using the default Port Settings...How can I let my system and those programs needed to run to downloaded Ports know that our Proxy Server has HTTP Port set to 10080 and FTP Port set to 10021. For example, how can I configure cvsup-without-gui to use the following settings above... Any advice and help is really needed... Please do not get me wrong the people who have been helping are really serious in solving my problem and I am very grateful for it...its just that, when they solve problems that I have, another thing comes up and then another thing...and I think it is all related to the problem that I wrote above... Thank you... Rommel B. Ikeda OISCA-International W.H.Q Tokyo, Japan P.S. I do know that there is a FreeBSD Handbook, and I can search the internet to find solutionsbut if anyone could only point me to the right direction about this then I would go and read whatever there is. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD behind a PROXY and unnatural Proxy Ports settings inour LAN
Thanks for the reply, Have you tried to set the FTP_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY environment variables? fetch (the program ports use to get the distribution files) will honor them (more in fetch(3)). When I first tried to instal CVSup, I really had a hard time in doing it...after a long time of research using Google and Netscape Search...I stumbled on a Thread that mentioned about how fetch's honors the HTTP and FTP mentioned in one's environemnt...Since FreeBSD has set me up to use Bourne Shell ($, I hope I am right)...I then put http_proxy=http://192.168.1.5:10080/; export http_proxy ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.1.5:10021/; export ftp_proxy in my .shrc file located my directory and I was able to download and install the cvsup Port...I thought that finally I can use cvsup and install all the Ports that I need...it turns out that...Yes, I was successfull in installing Sylpheed, but no I could not download and install the ports vilearn, kinput2-canna, but again I was successfull in installing Canna, and Eterm. Now, I do not know why I can download some Ports and can not on others... Rommel B.

Re: Unable to access the internet through Windows 2000 proxy Server
Dear Mr. Aaron Siegel, I am sorry for bothering you again...and Thank you for your response... Yes, 192.168.1.5 is our gateway's IP address. I was able to route add default 192.168.1.5 as root. When I netstat -r the default 192.168.1.5 showed up. Just to be sure below is the result of my netstat -r Logistics# route add default 192.168.1.5 add net default: gateway 192.168.1.5 Logistics# netstat -r Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.1.5UGSc00 aue0 localhost localhost UH 1 35lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 10 aue0 192.168.1.500:a0:c9:5a:47:ff UHLW1 857 aue0666 Logistics localhost UGHS00lo0 Internet6: DestinationGatewayFlags Netif Expire localhost localhost UH lo0 fe80::%aue0link#1 UC aue0 fe80::20a:79ff:fe0 00:0a:79:03:5d:1b UHL lo0 fe80::%lo0 fe80::1%lo0Uc lo0 fe80::1%lo0link#3 UHL lo0 ff01:: localhost U lo0 ff02::%aue0link#1 UC aue0 ff02::%lo0 localhost UC lo0 These are the 2 results of my ping test: $ ping www.philstar.com ping: cannot resolve www.philstar.com: Host name lookup failure $ ping 210.171.225.106 PING 210.171.225.106 (210.171.225.106): 56 data bytes ^C --- 210.171.225.106 ping statistics --- 377 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss $ ping www.oisca.org ping: cannot resolve www.oisca.org: Host name lookup failure I have a very strong idea that this problem is caused by the remapping of our Ports...as I have informed you, our FTP Port is set to 10021, HTTP Port is set 10080, and so on...How can I set cvsup-without-gui to use 10021 for my FTP and 10080 for my HTTP? I did created the directory /etc/resolv.conf as root, yesterday I had a little talk with the person in-charge of our Computer Room and asked him about our DNS. He told me that our DNS is dynamically provided by our ISP...So, as in our case with sometimes encoumter problems in our Internet Connection and most of the time we have to REBOOT the machine that runs our Proxy Server...Everytime we reboot or turn that machine off, once we turn in on a new DNS will be used from our ISP, dynamically provided...I was told. He said that the best thing for me to do is use www.oisca.org, as my DNS...IS THIS APPLICABLE...for my etc/resolv.conf? So at present this is what is inside my /etc/resolv.conf nameserver www.oisca.org #nameserver 12.105.171.186 (I added a # to disable it for the moment) #nameserver 204.127.202.68 (I added a # to disable it for the moment) I am really sorry that this has been dragging for a long time now...but, I really need your advice on this one... I have cc this Email to the freeBSD Community that anyone with ideas can also help us...
