RE: Printing to a Windows
-Original Message- From: Pietro Cerutti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, I think the problem is in CUPS. The Unix Printing System service on w2k3 is enabled, and the /etc/printcap is ok (i followed the instructions on the books). I created a test plain text file lp test lpq Warning: no daemon present Rank Owner Job Files Total Size 3rduser 9test 5 bytes but the print server doesn't receive any input. This is my /etc/printcap configuration: cat /etc/printcap lp|HPLaserJ:rm=host-name:rp=HPLaserJ: where host-name is replaced with the effective name, which is mapped into /etc/hosts Please don't top post. You have created a port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx on w2k3 with a queue name of HPlaserJ ? make sure cupsd is not running. the above lpq tells me there is no lpd running on your FBSD box, that needs to be started. echo lpd_enable='YES' /etc/rc.conf for startup on reboot /usr/local/sbin/lpc to view the status of printers and stop/start the lpd.

Short story: I placed a single line, boot_single= into the previously empty file /boot/loader.conf and now my machine boots with an extremely limited read-only volume. How do I get my old boot behavior back? try cntrl+d that show bring you up to multi user mode with read/write slices. Long story: I was muddling through updating the kernel and world for the first time, going from FreeBSD 5.1 = 5.2. Following instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING I made backups, made buildworld, etc. until it got to the point where it says reboot in single user. Never having done that, I tried first by rebooting, but for some reason my USB keyboard doesn't get power until further on in the boot cycle, so I couldn't just press 4. I looked through the docs and found instruction saying that I should set boot_single. I'm guessing I should have set it to something other than , which is just copied from /boot/defaults/loader.conf. So, a couple more questions: what is this limited read-only mode exactly? Where are my files (e.g. /usr is empty)? What should I have done? Is it possible to back out? It's a personal sandbox, and everything I need is already safely backed up; if I need to just blast the whole system with a CD install, I can do that. But I am curious to know if it's possible to u-turn in this cul-de-sac.

RE: Association Problem with Multiple APs

Now for some reason, my 4521 (and my iBook with regular AirPort, also BSD based??) favor the wireless ISP's connection over my own LinkSys access point. The ISP's antenna runs on channel 1 and consistently has a stronger signal than my own AP (channel 6). I have tried changing my own AP's channel to no avail. Each time I issue the commands to associate with my AP the 4521 merely connects to the ISP rather than my specified SSID. If I check wicontrol or ifconfig it reports that the desired netname is my AP, but the current netname always ends up to be the ISP's AP. This is extremely irritating. I recently got a wireless card (NL-2511CD Plus EXT2 802.11b PCMCIA by SENAO) w/ the prism 2.5 chipset, and the aforementioned problem is only with this card. My older card (a 3com 3CRWE737A PCMCIA) works *relatively* well, but I wanted to upgrade so... Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone have a suggestion to fix it? Any insight into the BSD or the OS X problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks..

I recently got a new IP on my outside interface, and I replaced the old IP with the new one in my IPFW ruleset, and restarted natd. Now everything was alright until my network clients (on the inside interface) started complaining that they can't connect to remote servers. Ping still works, but they can't fetch their mail or surf the net. It looks like something is wrong with my firewall, but I changed nothing but the old address. Are there other processes that need to be restarted? Did you actually change the IP on the interface itself? If not: edit /etc/rc.conf and change the IP/Netmask, then: # /etc/netstart Yes, the IP was changed. I ran /etc/netstart, but it didn't help. As I said, ping works as normal, and the packet sniffer shows normal TCP connections and there are even answers from the remote servers, so I really have no clue what could be wrong. I don't think it would do this with a wrong IP. Do you have an ``alias_address'' statement in your natd.conf file? Usually, you will specify the interface that natd operates on, but in some situations, some will specify an alias address instead. Check the file, and ensure that you are not aliasing the old address. Steve Can you ping outside addresses from the inside clients? Is the FW box running dhcp?

If you're running FreeBSD 5.*, consider: 1. recompiling the kernel using the OLDCARD kernel configuration file. 2. If ACPI is enabled, try booting with it disabled.
