RE: FreeBSD 4.X and Intel E7520 chipset problems
Have you tried running the application on 5.X? It's been my experience that even though it says 'made for 4.X', it'll run perfectly well on 5.X. -Original Message- From: Gordan Remus (Vox Mundi) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FreeBSD 4.X and Intel E7520 chipset problems Recently we have purchased a Supermicro X6DHR-IG2 motherboard based on Intel E7520 chipset with 2x3.0GHz Xeons and are unable to install FreeBSD 4.X on it. It seems that FreeBSD 4.X is not recognizing the chipset and therefore it's unable to recognize Mylex AcceleRAID 160 controller. Everything is working fine on FreeBSD 5.X, but unfortunately the application we need to run on top of that is made specifically for FreeBSD 4.X. Is there any chance that Intel E7520 chipset will be supported on some future 4.X releases or is there some kind of patch/workaround ?

RE: networking problem? maybe
If you have more than one computer available, try linking up a switch to your second Ethernet card and running a test between two machines that should not touch the gateway. What's your internal LAN speed when the gateway is not involved? That will tell you whether it's the gateway you need to look at. To explain better: ADSL | | (a) FreeBSD GW | (b) | Switch / \ Machine 1 Machine 2 Have Machine 1 talk to Machine 2. What's your speed? If it's significantly faster, then it's time to look at the gateway. If not, look at the switch. If it's the gateway, try reconfiguring your gateway so that the (b) ethernet card talks to the ADSL line and the (a) card talks to your LAN. Any change in speed? If so, it's probably the card or the config associated with it. If not, it's probably your routing configuration. Hope this gives you something to start from! -Original Message- From: neko hime [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: networking problem? maybe Hi there, i have just installed freebsd 4.9 one of my machies. This box is configured to be a gateway/router. The install was a base install, and i recompiled with the IPFILTER options. Ive added the net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 to my /etc/sysctl.conf. When accessing the internet (via ADSL/PPPoE) on the gateway machine, my downloads are very fast, and im very happy. my problem is that when i connect any computer to this LAN, the speed drops dramatically. For example: From the gateway machine speed 90K/s. From Machine attached to gateway machine speed 10K/s. Im not very good with networking, so im not exactly sure how to troubleshoot this. May someone suggest something for me to check. I would like to keep my gateway with freebsd. I hope this wasn't too confusing. thank-you aya Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

RE: Reduce effects of DDoS attack ...
Marc, usually the best answer to this is to have your net-facing device be a router (not a switch!) with enough juice to run a comprehensive ACL that keeps out martians, spoofed packets, and other stuff that doesn't belong on your network. Your second line of defense should be a good firewall, sitting behind the router. If your server cluster is supposed to be on the DMZ, then set up the switch behind the router with the boxes and the firewall on that switch. I realize that this is a VERY simplistic design description, and it could be tightened up, locked down, and fancified quite a lot, but it's the very basics. -Original Message- From: Marc G.

Now, the shared 'switch' between our networks is a Cisco Catalyst 2900xl ... is there something that should be set on that so that I don't see that network traffic? Basically, the only network traffic that I should/want to see is that for my network .. in this case, 200.46.204? Baring that ... is there anything that I can do on the FreeBSD side of things to reduce the impact of the extra packets? Some way of absorbing them? For instance, if the packet is coming in, and it isn't for that server, then I imagine it has to 'bounce' it back out again, compounding the problem, no? Also ... since the FreeBSD servers do seem to be handling the load, is it possible that the unmanaged switch that i have in place between the FreeBSD box and the Cisco switch is 'buckling under the load'? Not able to handle the packets fast enough, and therefore just drop'ng them? The unmanage switch is a 10/100 Linksys Switch ... Thanks for any responses ... Marc G.

FTP Proxies and Ports
Hello,
I've thus far been unsuccessful with $FTP_PROXY and $HTTP_PROXY in getting
fetch to honor my company's FTP proxy. The easiest way to use the proxy is a
URL format: ftp://username:password@server. Is there a way that I can
specify that this format be used anytime I want to download and install or
update a port? I'm using fetch instead of CVSup.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
