Change an IP address without a reboot

2006-11-02 Thread Andrew Falanga
Yesterday I asked a couple of questions about networking (assuming that it actually went to the list, I never saw my message in my inbox which makes me wonder if it was ever posted to the list). I've worked out the issue with IPv6, now the only remaining question is how does one actually change t

Need some assistance with IPv6 addresses

2006-11-01 Thread Andrew Falanga
Hi, At work I have a FreeBSD machine that I use for various testing and I need to setup an IPv6 only LAN using this machine. To this end, I have a few questions. 1) How can I remove an address from an interface using ifconfig (or other utility)? That is, I want to remove all IPv6 addresses th

What package will work to run Windoze programs in FreeBSD/amd64? I don't usually worry about, but my Father switched to FreeBSD/amd64 (which is what I run) and he can't seem to find one. I first steered him toward vmware3, which I found in the ports. But it refused to install because of being th

I am by no means the worlds best serial programmer, but recently I have done some work on this subject and I noticed one thing in the code sample above that should be avoided. However, I'll give you what I saw in-line: #include #include #include #include int main(void) { int t = 0, num =

2006-09-02 Thread Andrew Falanga
Hello everyone, I had to blow away my 6.0 installation and simply install 6.1 release. I found out that I would have to update my ports manually and since I don't have high speed access to the Internet, this just wasn't feasible. So, after installing (which went smoothly) I'm getting everything

Upgrade the ports after performing a binary upgrade

2006-08-20 Thread Andrew Falanga
Hello everybody, I did a binary upgrade on my FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE system up to 6.1 RELEASE. However, I'm still running KDE 3.4 and firefox still doesn't work. I didn't understand this, but apparently the ports that are installed to a system don't upgrade with a binary upgrade. Ok, so, the ques

Hello everyone, If I do pkg_info with nothing else, all looks well. However, if I do "pkg_info | grep " (which I do frequently so I don't have to read through the entire list) I get these two errors: pkg_info: the package info for package 'portupgrade-2.0.1_1,1' is corrupt pkg_info: the packag

I'm still working on my program for serial communications. While getting help from someone else, he mentioned that, "There are questions as to the FreeBSD serial driver etc. whether it supports hardware flow control itself." What I'm wondering is, does the driver support hardware flow control?

You mean you got through the install and when you were asked on which slice you wanted to install FreeBSD you were only offered the choice of the SATA drive? If you have a working FreeBSD system, what does dmesg say? What does fdisk (from inside FreeBSD) say? They both only see the SATA drive
