Wheel Mouse
Hello List, I'm new to FreeBSD so if this question has been covered to death I appologize. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to get my wheel mouse working. Can someone please help me with either the solution or some doc links? Any help would be appreciated.

dns
Hello all. I have a freebsd box I'm using as a router for my subnet. I have this freebsd router doing nat and dhcp assinging internal ip addresses for the computers on the network (i.e. 192.168.x.x). This box is also a web server for a registered domain name. My probelm is that when someone wants to connect to my web site the dns gives them the internal ip of the FreeBSD box and not the external ip of the router. Can someone tell me how I get the FreeBSD's dns to point to the external ip address for my doimain? Thanks much. Sorry, this is more of a dns question than a FreeBSD one but the people who have helped me with other problems in the past were vastly experienced with this sort of thing so I thought this was my best chance of finding a solution. If any of you feel that this is not an appropriate question for this list, can you please guide me to a forum or list that would be more appropriate?

Re: Wireless USB Mouse.
I'm with Mark on this one. I have a USB Microsoft Optical IntelliMouse Explorer that works great in the console and in x. I'm using FreeBSD 4.7 so it already had usb support added into the kernel out of the box. I have usbd_enabled=YES in my rc.conf file and I'm using /dev/sysmouse. The only difference between my XF86conf file is that you use Auto while I was using MouseSystems so I will change that, but again, my current USB mouse works fine. Can someone please help us here?

RE: Bandwidth allocation - is this possible?
Some of the server packages themselves will do bandwidth limiting for you. If you run Apache, for example, you can configure it to limit the bandwidth it uses. The same goes with many FTP servers. Hope this helps, Thomas P. Connolly Senior Development Engineer Colorado Engineering Experiment Station Inc. Phone: (970) 897-2711 Fax: (970) 897-2710 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Donald Burr of Borg Sent: Monday, December 16, 2002 12:53 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Bandwidth allocation - is this possible? I have a FreeBSD box (running 4.7-STABLE as of a few weeks ago) as a gateway machine between my home network and a DSL connection (768/128) to the Internet. Everything works great. I will soon be upgrading to a faster DSL connection... 1500 down, and 384 up. With the additional outgoing bandwidth, I figure that, now I have more outgoing bandwidth, I can do something that I've wanted to do for a long time: run some outgoing servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) But here's the catch: I don't want these new servers of mine to hog all the outgoing bandwidth. Say, if someone with a T1 or a really fast cable connection connects to my FTP server and wants to download something, then that would pretty much saturate my entire 384 outgoing pipe. Which means that whatever me or my girlfriend are doing on the Internet (web browsing, sending email, etc.) slows to a standstill. Now, I thought about it a bit, and here's an ideal solution: If I could somehow segment my outgoing bandwidth... let's say, allocate only 256 of it for use by the FTP/HTTP/whatever servers, and leave the other 128 for use only by people going out from the internal network, then the FTP/HTTP/etc. users would still get an acceptable level of performance, while my SO and I can still surf the web, send email, etc. at reasonable speeds. Is this doable in FreeBSD? Are there any FAQ's or HOWTO-type documents on how I could get this type of setup going? Any and all help gratefully appreciated.

RE: I have samba stability problems under FreeBSD 4.7
If the FreeBSD machine is set up as the primary domain controller, it needs to be the network browser. The windows machines by default, are set with the Browse Master setting to ON. They will compete for network browsing with the FreeBSD machine and will force an election (which the FreeBSD machine may be losing). In windows 98, you can go to networking in Control panel and click on Properties for File and Print sharing. In Win2k and XP go to Control Panel| Administrative Tools | Services. Under services look for Computer Browser and set this to manual. I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but I had some of the same problems and this worked for me. Good Luck Thomas P.

You'll have lines like these to change: hostname=sheol.localdomain ifconfig_ed0=inet 192.168.16.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 What you'll change is the hostname (if need be), and ifconfig_ed0 to ifconfig_dc0. IIRC, that's all it takes. I apologize for the ignorance but I am very new to all this. I basically just went step-by-step through the FreeBSD manual on installation. There was no option that said dc(4). I don't remember how to specify the interface within sysinstall(8), but I'm sure you can (make sure you've resolved conflicting interrupts first). I usually set up the network manually, after sysinstall(8), just to stay in practice! Thanks again, Thomas P. Connolly Senior Development Engineer Colorado Engineering Experiment Station Inc.

RE: Ethernet card problem
I actually installed from CD and won't recognize my NIC. I selected the ed0 NIC from sysinstall because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to use for my card (Kingston KNE100TX - dc(4)). When I got to the configuration screen, there was no Ethernet card listed. I am confused on what to do next. What I'm haring is that I have to install miibus, then I have to edit /etc/rc.conf. Do I have that right? Thanks again, Thomas Connolly -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.

RE: Ethernet card problem
This is exactly my situation, any ideas?? If his NIC is *not* there when it's time to configure and start the d-load, it's a hardware/BIOS issue, or somebody's broke sysinstall(8).or is there another option I'm missing?

IME it doesn't matter what you pick in the configuration section of sysinstall --- whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA NIC drivers. After doing kernel configuration in full-screen visual/CLI/skip then sysinstall does an initial device probe, and when you get to configure interface, it should be there. For the record, device miibus is enabled in -GENERIC kernel.

increasing the size of a file system
Hello all. I am having a problem installing a very large program. It wants to extract itself to the /tmp directory but there is not enough space. I have a 30 Gb hard drive that is only 20% full so there is plenty of free space to work with. I've tried increasing the size of the file system as follows: umount -f /dev/ad0s1f growfs -s 4194304 /dev/ad0s1f I get an error similar to the following: file system not grown (137 - 137) [not sure of the exact values] Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or is there another work around such as making the program think that /tmp is really somewhere else with more space? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
