IP Changed ==> Problem
Hello, I recently changed my ISP - DSL provider, a new static IP, and now having problems ssh'ing in, none before. My config ==> ISP[DSL] ==>Modem==>Router/Gateway ==> HubLAN machine(1) |LAN machine(2) | |LAN machine(n) The LAN side machines are configured w/ NAT and the mapping are unchanged, using 192.168.x.n etc. The WAN side is configured correctly, I think. I can access the internet from the LAN, SSH & Telnet. However I cannot telnet or SSH into the LAN and the Port mappings are the same as before??? The only change has been to the Gateway configuration, IP #, DNS & subnetmask. What am I missing?

Re: IP Changed ==> Problem
Hi Adam, Thanks for you reply, I am using the SMC barricade router,SMC7004ABR, w/ an Admin GUI, according to the GUI it has been updated, where else would I find that info, netstat's routing tables do not seem to supply that.

Power Management
Hello, Could someone advise on UPS systems and Power Management related software for FREE BSD systems. i.What systems are dependable and reasonable priced, esp. at the low end for use with workstations ii. Is it possible to power down several work stations simultaneously from one UPS. I am not concerned with any extended working after a power failure, just an orderly shutdown of the whole system. I've seen some 1KVA units that are capable of supporting several machines buy with only 1 serial port connection on the back, thus connecting only one machine. Is there a way to replicate the signals to several machines? Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Ooooops! Wrong Network Interface designation
Hello, Improper shutdown via power failure, disk corruption, re-installation 4.2 the last disk set available. Using a RealTek internal media interface for a direct DSL internet connection. Inadvertently, entered PPP on Network setup, attempts at correcting this have resulted in miserable failure. Going back in to /stand/sysinstall does not even seem to provide that option. Short of a complete re-installation is there another approach, such as manually entering specifics into specific files, and if so which files - or have I missed something on the attempt at Post Installation Configuration changes through the use of /stand/sysinstall?

Mboard + CPU Upgrade
Hello, I've transferred two disks from a failed machine to another, with different MotherBoard and CPU. The diff / similarities follows: Differences - Old Architecture: Shuttle AI61 motherboard AMD K7 CPU Processor 900 Mhz AMD751 Chipset 3 DIMM Sockets New Architecture: Shuttle AK32A motherboard AMD Athlon CPU 1.5 GHz Chipset(s) - 2: VIA VT8366A & VIA VT8233 2 DIMM Sockets each, DDR/SDR Similarities: Same Hard drives (2 - Boot & data) Memory sticks 5 PCI & 1 AGP slots 3 PC Cards A Diamond Stealth Video Card A line modem card A SMC NIC I transferred all the cards including the NIC to ensure similarity of Hardware Profile. Machine boots partially, probing devices, listing to stdout. Readout aborts consistently at a line which is difficult to read on the fly, but the last few lines have been extracted, which from by naive point of view seems to indicate a USB problem. I've done a reconfig of kernel, no significant difference or conflicts were found. I've double check the BIOS to make sure all relevant USB / PCI options are enabled ( at least so I think ). The messages from the last few lines of the probe are as follows: ahci0: port 0xd400-0xd41f irq11 at dcsi cio > on ubc 10 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered At this point, last line above, the screen blanks out, process exits presumably. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Repositioning /var | /tmp to avoid disk full condition
Hello, The 3rd edition of "The Complete FreeBSD" suggest repositioning the /var directory ( and even /tmp) to prevent filling up that partition. I ignored it and did just that today, filled it up. So I attempted the repositioning with the following recommended command steps and results: cd /var tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) cd / rm -rf /var ln -s /usr/var /var However the 'rm -rf /var' returned rm: /var: Device busy After trying all known tricks to me to remove /var, I concluded that since it was mounted from the /etc/fstab I should dismount it and remove the directory (link point ?) and create a soft link there as recommended. However, on rebooting boot was aborted, was thrown into single users mode. After some findangling eventually got the system back up as before with the /var directory, except that now it contains only the /var/cron and /var/run directories. The original /var contained /var/account: /var/at: /var/backups: /var/crash: /var/cron: /var/db: /var/games: /var/log: /var/lost+found: /var/mail: /var/msgs: /var/preserve: /var/qmail: /var/run: /var/rwho: /var/smtpd: /var/spool: /var/tmp: /var/webmin: /var/yp: How can I restore the full functioning structural integrity as before, of course the contents of the /usr/var directory was wiped out somwhere along the way, sans log, sans mail, sans everything.

Re: O/S - System upgrade with CVS (Jez Hancock)
Hi Jez, I have read the Handbook 3rd edition, the cvs man pages, printed the Online Chapter 19 and read them a few times already, although I will admit that not everything is fully clear. However the problem I am experiencing is in the: "make buildworld" stage 4: building libraries causing an error condition cc -O -pipe -I/usr/src/gnu/lib/csu/../../../contrib/gcc/config -I. -DIN_GCC -finhibit-size-directive -fno-inline-functions -fno-exceptions -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g0 -DCRT_BEGIN -c -o crtbegin.o /usr/src/gnu/lib/csu/../../../contrib/gcc/crtstuff.c *** Signal 10 Stop in /usr/src/gnu/lib/csu. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. Where can I find an explanation of the error codes, these are not available in the online manual , are they? at least then I may be able to start deciphering something about the problem. All. I have now is that something is amiss in the crtstuff.c file of which I have 3 on my desk, 1. /usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/crtstuff.c 2. /usr/src/contrib/gcc/crtstuff.c 3. /usr/home/maxwell/downloads/gcc/nu042803/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/crtstuff.c 1 is a pre - production untarring file, 2 is the one just downloaded via the cvs supfile and 3 the initial download of gcc used in 1, I am assuming, and from all indications it is using #2 . But the error code legend will go a far way for me in figuring out what is going on.
