Read his statement once more: For example, I load up a client (game) and it connects out on XYZ port. The server will send data back on ABC. Ahh yes correct, I was going on the assumption that the traffic is trying to return using the same session details. This is usually how it is with gaming traffic and the non stateful ruleset is usually the cause of why this sort of traffic get's blocked. Would like to see if the OP has actually sniffed the traffic and can say without a shadow of a doubt that different ports are being used ingoing outgoing. I assume based on this, the following is happening: - 192.168.x.x:a sends packet to gameserver:xyz - NAT gateway translates packet (where natgw is a public WAN IP) 192.168.x.x:a -- natgw:b -- gameserver:xyz - gameserver sees packet to port xyz, and initiates new connection to natgw:abc - NAT gateway drops packet destined to WAN IP port abc, because the gameserver:abc connection is *new*, and does not relate to the previous NAT'd gameserver:xyz connection. If this is **truly** how the protocol works (the OP will need to be absolutely 100% positive of that fact; I recommend he reconfirm how it works), then the only solution is to set up a port forward on the NAT gateway for port abc to point to 192.168.x.x. This also means that only one computer on the LAN will be capable of playing this game. Not much one can do about that, other than write the authors of the game and explain that their protocol is absolutely disgusting. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com

Re: VMWare Tools for FreeBSD
Jeff Dickens wrote: I just made a copy of /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/freebsd.iso from VMware Server v1.0.4 under a different name, and moved it to the ESX server. Then I mounted that ISO as a virtual cdrom on the freebsd guest, untarred the tools and ran the install script. It seems to work fine. A couple of provisos: I don't use X windows on any of my FreeBSD systems, and the vmxnet accelerated virtual network adapter does not work properly. I use the e1000 adapter instead. It wouldn't be a bad idea to comment out the 'vmxnet_load=YES' line from /boot/loader.conf, but it doesn't seem to cause problems just being loaded. Furthermore, I don't use any of the virtualcenter features like vmotion, etc. I use freebsd guests for small-footprint servers, for example a dhcp and dnscache server with 512MB disk and 32MB ram. SNIP Jeff, Basically the only reason I have for using VM Tools is for the ability of Vmotion and such with our ESX Server farm. It's really the only benefit that the VM tools will give me on FreeBSD as all my virtual machines which are running FreeBSD are servers and don't use any GUI's either. Currently there is nothing that doesn't run correctly under VMWare and I have not seen any lack of performance or anything compared to a physical machine. Maybe if enough of us push to have the VMWare Tools developed and certified for use with VMWare that they might actually get started. I might develop some sort of E-Petition for it, what you think?

mfi Driver messages
Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD AMD64 on a Dell 2950. I am running hardware mirroring. The RAID gets picked up by the mfi driver and everything works fine. I get the following messages on the console and am just wondering what exactly is happening. I imagine the driver is just checking the RAID but I just want to make sure. mfi0: 1054 (248259950s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn will start in 5 hours mfi0: 1055 (248278020s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn pending: Battery is under charge mfi0: 1056 (248281790s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn started mfi0: 1057 (248281855s/0x0008/0) - Battery is discharging mfi0: 1058 (248281855s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn in progress mfi0: 1059 (248289340s/0x0008/1) - Current capacity of the battery is below threshold mfi0: 1060 (248289340s/0x0008/1) - BBU disabled; changing WB virtual disks to WT mfi0: 1061 (248289340s/0x0001/0) - Type 21: Policy change on VD 00/0 to [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=00,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] from [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=01,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] mfi0: 1062 (248290360s/0x0008/0) - Battery relearn completed mfi0: 1063 (248290375s/0x0008/0) - Battery started charging mfi0: 1064 (248290375s/0x0008/1) - Current capacity of the battery is below threshold mfi0: 1065 (248291805s/0x0008/0) - Current capacity of the battery is above threshold mfi0: 1066 (248291805s/0x0008/0) - BBU enabled; changing WT virtual disks to WB mfi0: 1067 (248291805s/0x0001/0) - Type 21: Policy change on VD 00/0 to [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=01,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] from [ID=00,dcp=01,ccp=00,ap=0,dc=0,dbgi=0] mfi0: 1068 (248303895s/0x0008/0) - Battery charge complete mfi0: 1069 (248583600s/0x0020/0) - Patrol Read started mfi0: 1070 (248583600s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 0% seconds 0s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 0.00%(0s) mfi0: 1071 (248583600s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 0% seconds 0s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 0.00%(0s) mfi0: 1072 (248583727s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 10% seconds 127s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 10.00%(127s) mfi0: 1073 (248583727s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 10% seconds 127s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 10.00%(127s) mfi0: 1074 (248583855s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 20% seconds 255s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 20.00%(255s) mfi0: 1075 (248583855s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 20% seconds 255s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 20.00%(255s) mfi0: 1076 (248583992s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 30% seconds 392s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 30.00%(392s) mfi0: 1077 (248583993s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 30% seconds 393s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 30.00%(393s) mfi0: 1078 (248584124s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 40% seconds 524s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 40.00%(524s) mfi0: 1079 (248584125s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 40% seconds 525s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 40.00%(525s) mfi0: 1080 (248584279s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 50% seconds 679s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 50.00%(679s) mfi0: 1081 (248584279s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 50% seconds 679s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 50.00%(679s) mfi0: 1082 (248584421s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 60% seconds 821s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 60.00%(821s) mfi0: 1083 (248584422s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 60% seconds 822s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 60.00%(822s) mfi0: 1084 (248584573s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 70% seconds 973s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 70.00%(973s) mfi0: 1085 (248584574s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 70% seconds 974s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 70.00%(974s) mfi0: 1086 (248584732s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 80% seconds 1132s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 80.00%(1132s) mfi0: 1087 (248584733s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 80% seconds 1133s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 80.00%(1133s) mfi0: 1088 (248584927s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 90% seconds 1327s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 90.00%(1327s) mfi0: 1089 (248584928s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 90% seconds 1328s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 90.00%(1328s) mfi0: 1090 (248585167s/0x0002/-1) - PD 00(e1/s0) progress 100% seconds 1567s: Patrol Read progress on PD 00(e1/s0) is 100.00%(1567s) mfi0: 1091 (248585168s/0x0002/-1) - PD 01(e1/s1) progress 100% seconds 1568s: Patrol Read progress on PD 01(e1/s1) is 100.00%(1568s) mfi0: 1092 (248585168s/0x0020/0) - Patrol Read complete Regards, Terry http://www.sucked-in.com Have you been sucked in? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM
Hi, I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction? I know I have already asked this question but there is a slight difference, the real server is running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8 AMD64 version. The duplicated version which will be running in a VM is only going to be the i386 version. What would be the best way to attack this problem? The stuff that needs to be synced would be a MySQL database along with a website. Everything else probably doesn't matter...

Backup Solution
Hello everyone, I am relatively new to the FreeBSD game and have a bit of a problem which I am not sure how to tackle. I recently build a server running VMWare ESX Server 3 which will eventually run 6-7 small production VM's. These Virtual Machines obviously have the need for backups and it poses quite a problem for me unless I connect 6-7 external tape drives and give each VM it's own tape device. I have looked into a few solutions using VM products (consolidated backup) but it can only be done if you utilise a SAN. The server is running RAID 5 with around 700GB of space. Each VM may take up to 50GB and backups might be around 15-20GB per VM. The machine itself has an internal LTO3 tape drive, has anyone come across this kind of situation before, and if so what would be a good way to backup each VM? It is easy enough to backup the image files from the host machine but I need file level backups within each VM also. I will be very grateful for suggestions or ways people have tackled this kind of problem in a production environment. Thanks.

RE: FreeBSD time servers and Windows clients
Bill, The registry setting is to allow you to sync time to an internet source and also offer the ability of the Windows Time Service to sync other machines which aren't actively part of a domain relationship. If you want to do this then the registry fix is the way. If you want to simply sync with a non-domain time source then group policy is the best way on Windows Server operating systems.

Bahra Sent: Monday, 30 July 2007 9:27 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Binding dhclient to a particular network interface Adam, Thanks for responding, but I think theres been a misunderstanding here. The network setup on my machine is working correctly. My switch-facing network card has a fixed IP address, while the cable-modem facing network card is assigned one by the DHCP server built into the cable modem. This is achieved by the following settings in /etc/rc.conf ... network_interfaces=ed1 ed2 lo0 ifconfig_ed1=DHCP ifconfig_ed2=inet 10.1.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_lo0=inet 127.0.0.1 The DHCP reference for ed1 means dhclient is started (thereafter running continuously as a daemon), which sets ed1's IP address to that assigned by the cable modem. Note that dhclient generally runs as a daemon because it has to handle lease renewals and/or expiration. I have no issues with it running as a daemon. However, it is listening on all interfaces (which I do have an issue with), i.e. running the command sockstat -l4 on my system returns... USER: root COMMAND: dhclient PID: 267 FD: 4 PROTO: udp4 LOCAL ADDRESS: *:68 FOREIGN ADDRESS: *:* As you can see, local address is listed as *:68, which means its listening on port 68 on all interfaces. I want to instruct dhclient to only listen on my cable-modem facing network card. If this were the case, issuing the sockstat -l4 command would return as above, but with local address saying CABLE-MODEM-ASSIGNED-IP-ADDRESS:68 (where CABLE-MODEM-ASSIGNED-IP-ADDRESS is, unsurprisingly, the IP address assigned to the network card by the DHCP server in the cable modem).

Bahra wrote: Is there a way of instructing dhclient to listen only on the cable-modem facing network interface? Hi Jazz, I don't find it necessary to run dhclient as a daemon. My server has two interfaces, one wired and one wifi. In my /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP ifconfig_ndis0=WPA DHCP [You might recognise ndis as the Project Evil driver for using Windows network drivers under BSD.] When the netstart script runs, those two lines have the effect of starting wpa_supplicant on ndis0, and running dhclient on both interfaces. Supposing I temporarily assign a static IP to fxp0, I can revert to DHCP by typing: $ sudo dhclient fxp0 which does some DHCP magic and gets a lease. If I take ndis0 down I find I have to run /etc/netstart again to get it back up, but you didn't want to know that.

RE: Sendmail question
Hi Dylan, You should just be able to modify /etc/aliases and put in the e-mail alias for root. root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then run the 'newaliases' program and it should be all good. You may have to allow the IP of the box to be relayed through your mail server. But if it is on the ISP's network they usually allow it by default.

One of my last tasks is to simple forward all mail from root out through my isp's SMTP(requires authentication) server and to an email account i have elsewhere. That is to say i have no purpose for a mail server other than to handle mail from things like periodic and to move that mail elsewhere. Can this be easily accomplished? If so are there any guides/how-to's? I have done a search around my usual BSD sites and books and found nothing that is easily modified to my circumstances.
