Most likely, FreeBSD doesn't grok your system's ACPI. What does uname -a say? (Let's establish your OS version first). I don't know about how your window system shuts down, but from the command line I had the same problem. I was using shutdown -h now and it would give me the same message that the system was halted, press any key to reboot. I later learned that shutdown -p now would shut the power off as well. Maybe your window system is doing the equivalent of -h instead of -p. Yes, strangely enough shutdown -h now in FreeBSD will only halt the machine. halt -p will poweroff the box, and shutdown -p now will also power off the box. In Linux, shutdown -h now will power off the machine. Yance. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

RE: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
Ted, you have to think outside the box. Life is more than one connection. While you can't increase the throughput of a single connection, you can increase the throughput of your network, which is usually the point. Throughput in this context is capacity. Throughput is not only what you can get on a download; its the sum total of all of your activites. You can upload at 2Mb/s on one connection if you balance your outbound traffic, but not download, because while you can control where outgoing packets are sent, you can't control over which pipe incoming traffic arrives. Believe me, ted. It works. Its not theory. Its being done. For example a hosting ISP saturates its pipes outgoing and has very little traffic incoming. They can load balance in the outgoing only direction and have all of their incoming traffic on a single pipe and double the capacity of their network. Since they never exceed the incoming bandwidth of a single pipe there is no need to balance it. DT Ted and Daniel, I am still following this thread and am getting all confused here. Back to my original question: 2 ADSL uplinks - 2 different ISPs can they be merged?

I thought I could do something similar with *BSD + pf. There is such thing as Dual Wan ADSL router: http://www.infosmart.com.tw/p-ndr3024.htm However, they are quite pricey compare to setting up a *BSD box (using old readily available hardware). So, if this load balancing idea does not work, any other thing I can do to optimise two DSLs? I also came accross this (linux way): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.rpdb.multiple- links.html Is this worth trying? Kind regards, Yance, The reason, without a pretty heavily involved configuration, this won't work is packet routing. Unless you're using BGP, Border Gateway Protocol, you're not going to reliably route return packets to any interface other than the interface it was transmitted from. I'm guessing that the dual-wan device you speak of handles some things differently. Something like a large file download is going to fail to utilize the full bandwidth, however, because of the nature of the traffic. If you really need to boost network bandwidth, you're going to be forced into either working directly with an ISP to link multiple DSL channels, or, more likely, obtain business-class service over a T1/T3 setup.

Re: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
Hmm, what about putting zebra into the picture ... a solution or chaos? What feature in Zebra exactly do you think will help in this scenario? Ted ___ I am just crawling in the dark here... If the upstream packets can be send through a supposedly working load-balancing FreeBSD router, it will only handle upstream packets.., i.e. the router may be able to balance the upstream packets... Now, who's going to handle the routing and balancing the downstream packet? Would Zebra has such feature I am sorry if it makes not much sense.

FreeBSD router two DSL connections
Hi all, I am trying to figure out if *BSD can achieve this: I have two DSL connections to play with, and I would like to configure a *BSD router that can combine the two DSLs together. There is a howto at http://stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/000173.php But it concerns OpenBSD and it was for a T1 connection using a dual T1 card. I would like to configure one on 2 DSLs connected to two individual NICs. Is this feasible at all, or should I just invest in a dual Wan hardware? Kind regards, Yance __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

I already figured out how to specify multiple

what I want to make sure of is the /etc/rc.conf
would this entry be valid and assign the right IP
from the range of subnet :
dhcpd_ifaces=fxp0 xl0
will that cause the dhcp server to assign
10.0.1.x/24 addresses to the

and 10.0.0.x/24 to the machines on the switch
connected to xl0 ?
If not what's the maximum number of interfaces I can
specify in the option
dhcpd_ifaces= assuming I have all the
subnets and related information configured correctly
in the dhcpd.conf ?

FreeBSD howto collection
Dear all, I am looking for a good article or collection of howtos or something similar to Ted's FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide.

It needs a gateway, firewall, mail, proxy server, etc. What is available (what I can find) are different howtos implemented in different situations. Any pointers appreciated.

Re: connecting a FreeBSD-4.10 to Internet using DSL with static ip address
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. My DSL is always on and I get static IP, however, I do have a user name and password. I am in Australia by the way. You may try getting an ADSL modem+router, not just an ADSL modem. The router will connect to the ISP, and it is via PPPoE, the modem provides DHCP, then you can connect your 4.10 to it. But then again, I do supply username and password to the ADSL router. Please find out from your ISP if you do get a username+ password. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
