I have lets say 2 FreeBSD machines (more in reality) @ home, both have two NICs. One NIC on each for the internal LAN via hub, 100Mbs Mactronix - mx0 & mx1 devices (on the problem machine). And the other NICs for external network, ADSL. From say machine A, I can ping machine B fine sometimes, or for a limited time (Machine B, being the one with the problem, and not A.) I can telnet into machine B from A, I can ping B from A, and vice versa then maybe some odd minutes later, or sometimes after a reboot of Machine B, I can't ping B from A. "host down". If I logon to the console of machine B, and ping A then ping from A -> B starts working again. As if the NIC somehow goes into sleep mode? If I'm telnet'd in, leave it there for a while, it'll eventually drop connection. I'm checked the NICs for any IRQ conflicts, changed PCI buses, changed cable, change hub ports, still samething. Does anyone have any ideas, or how I can start to diagnose this more? I'm out of ideas and don't know where else to turn. On the internal LAN, I'm using RFC1918 based IP's, 192.168.x.x/24. FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE on Machine B and FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE on machine A. Machine B is just a p5-133 w/48megs RAM but running great. No X installed, minimal install. If anyone has any ideas to this or anything, could you please let me know, I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. I need to get this corrected as I plan on having machine B as my NAT router/Firewall/Bastion host, and eventually (jsut for fun) setting up a DMZ with a third NIC. Please CC to my e-mail address, especially if from freebsd-net@freebsd.org as I'm not on the mailing list yet, and can't afford being on too many mailing lists as I'm already swamped in email.

The cause of this message is that atrun (run periodically by crond, as one can see from /etc/crontab) can not read the contents of the indicated directory. Since browsing the contents of a directory does require some, not so huge, but measurable amount of memory, I think you're basically right. Have you tried adding some swap space? Not the best thing one should do for long term solution, but it can help to solve the problem temporarily. And FreeBSD is such a beauty at handling virtual memory, swapping and the likes... -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "Don't let your schooling interfere with your education."

It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

The permissions should be something like 555 for a readonly drive. However, cdplay shouldn't need the /cdrom mounted, as it doesn't use the CD as a file system. Take a look at the permissions for /dev/acd0(?) instead.

For example, can you ftp to any outside sites? Can you telnet or use lynx to other sites? I ask because sometimes some network organizations block pings or filter for pings in order to avoid ping floods. As for configuring your card for DHCP, I still use /stand/sysinstall and just answer yes for DHCP. When you've booted, you can run "ifconfig -a" to see what address your machine received.
