Now I'm having problems with the TCP stack. I suspect its because of code differences. I may have some older 5.4 code that was used during the build world process. For example, here's a partial ifconfig -a output fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=8 inet 71.4.48.6 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 71.4.49.255 inet 71.4.48.4 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 71.4.48.4 inet 71.4.48.7 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 71.4.48.7 inet 71.4.48.9 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 71.4.48.9 What's interesting is I can ping 71.4.48.6 from the console. But I get the following whenever I ping any other aliased IP from the local console. I can ping these from other machines. [root 6]> ping 71.4.48.4 PING 71.4.48.4 (71.4.48.4): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Invalid argument ping: sendto: Invalid argument Looking up a domain using dig I get similar errors. It actually returns the info I want but I still get the errors. [root 7]> dig www.google.com /usr/src/lib/bind/isc/../../../contrib/bind9/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:1151: internal_send: 71.4.48.2#53: Invalid argument /usr/src/lib/bind/isc/../../../contrib/bind9/lib/isc/unix/socket.c:1151: internal_send: 71.4.48.3#53: Invalid argument 71.4.48.2 and 71.4.48.3 are my DNS. So what I thought I'd do is move to 6.2-RELEASE. What I wanted to do is install the source code from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/src/* and do a build world and build kernel. I assume that's really all I need to build a new system. Are there any caveats to do an upgrade this way?
