I want a laptop to connect to Internet via satelitte
I have a laptop and I was looking at the ATT LaptopConnect cards. They appear to only work with Windows. I do need windows support, but I insist on FreeBSD support.

Hello, I just setup a freebsd box with the 5.1 release to be a gateway/firewall. The installation was smooth and to setup the gateway/firewall with nat a lot of sources are available on Internet. Here is my problem, I can't connect to Internet from the Freebsd box. I have DSL and my ISP is ATT, I have a static IP wich means I don't need to run PPP to connect. FreeBSD Internet NIC is : 12.103.20.x When I type ifconfig my NIC looks fine, up and running : rl0 : 12.103.20.x For information the freebsd box contains 2 NIC's one for Internet the other for the LAN (192.168.1.1) If I ping myself no problem everything's fine, but I can't ping a web address. I don't know if it is possible under unix but I use to ping www.yahoo.com for example to know if it's well connected. But the best proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out reaching the samba server on the web I have setup a firewall_type=OPEN because i'm still testing but I also setup natd and gateway variables in the rc.conf file to what is needed up to majority of websites about firewall and gateways with Freebsd. I also rebuilt the kernel up to those websites wich was fine, and I created a natd.conf file. One more thing I think I didn't use the Domain variable when I set up the NIC from sysinstall don't know if it's important! Well I don't understand why it doesn't work The tech guy from att hotline told me it's easy as setup a LAN yes you're right my LAN works fine but not Internet! :S Please somebody help me razor. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But there is no MAC address coming with... instead I have the mention incomplete . That could be my problem ??? If it is where could I find this particular MAC address ? Do I have to call them ? Or my setup was wrong ? I also have a second line referencing the freebsd box itself by the internal LAN NIC : 192.1668.1.1 with a MAC address is it normal ???

Sounds like /etc/resolv.conf hasn't been setup to point to valid DNS servers. Try adding a line like: nameserver 4.2.2.1 ...to /etc/resolv.conf and see whether that solves your problem, only you should use the nameservers your ISP gives you if you know what they are.

If you do get packets back, type: ping www.yahoo.com if you get no packets back, it's your DNS settings. Look at /etc/resolv.conf - you should see at least one line like this: nameserver ip.address.of.nameserver If you don't add such a line (or two) with valid nameservers. Your ISP should give you such settings. If they haven't, you could use: nameserver 158.43.128.1 but only temporarily - it's a Worldcom/MCI nameserver and might not live forever. Oh, and set a hostname. (see man hostname). PWR. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

P.S I also can't send receive mail using kmail inspite of giving all the required parameters. Do you have DNS name resolution setup correctly on your machine? Your ISP should have given you at least one IP address for their DNS server(s). Make sure that you place these addresses in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Such as: nameserver 1.2.3.4 nameserver 1.2.3.5 Also, while kppp tells you that you are connected, try pinging an IP address instead of the domain name. hotmail.com is 64.4.32.7 and microsoft.com is 207.46.245.222. Alternatively you could just plug either of the IP addresses into your browser address bar. If it still doesn't work then you may be able to rule out a DNS issue.

Re: Mac can't connect to Internet
I pulled the 'nameserver' addresses from /etc/resolv.conf. That seems to fix it. Thanks! W. Tony M. wrote: It sounds like you don't have the DNS entries correct on the Mac.

Re: Mac can't connect to Internet
Hi, I was wondering what the resolution was to this, as I (a *nix newbie) am trying to accomplish a very similar thing: OS 10.1 via hub to a Pentium running FBSD 4.6.2 to a cable-modem internet connection. I can't get past the FBSD box from the Mac though the FBSD box can see the internet just fine. (The firewall is disabled. And I can ping, telnet, FTP from the Mac to FBSD just fine.) Thanks.

If I connect the PB to the cable modem directly, the PB connects ok. snip Is the mac able to use the internet without the firewall? (Remove the firewall lines from rc.conf with '#' and try loading the GENERIC kernel at the kernel prompt). If so reboot and change the *deny/block/ect* line of the firewall and add the 'log' keyword(man ipfw to find out how to use this) to each of them. Check /var/log/security if you can see the mac being blocked by your firewall. (It will tell you what rule blocked your mac). I hope this is helpful, if not send me the output of 'ipfw s' and 'tail -n 100 /var/log/security' and i'll take a look. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Re: Mac can't connect to Internet
I had actually tried it with the firewall enabled previously, but because that had not worked either, had disabled hoping it would work after (mis-?)reading a post here. But it seems now that I failed to recompile the kernel with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT, so I'll check back once that's done and tested. (Fwiw, the configuration I'm trying to implement is: Cable-Modem = FBSD = hub = Mac, PC, etc.) Walter David Kelly wrote: On Tuesday 22 October 2002 01:24 pm, Kevin Stevens wrote: Two things: - Is the FreeBSD box set to act as a router (packet forwarding on)?

(Fwiw, the configuration I'm trying to implement is: Cable-Modem = FBSD = hub = Mac, PC, etc.) Is probably best to compile those into the kernel but IPFW will be kldload(1)'ed by the /etc/rc.* scripts if enabled. As for divert, I don't remember. Custom kernel is a sure thing. On reboot, start by proving the connection between Mac and FreeBSD works. Then FreeBSD to ISP.
