ICMP type n from x.x.x.0 to 0.0.0.0, out could be filtered too. Try also lynx, if not installed... cd /usr/ports/www/lynx/ make install as root user, and see if it even downloads. Hope this helps. PS: I moved from Linux to FreeBSD and JUST LOVE IT! I don't even want to look back if I can. I run most Linux apps I need anyways, in FreeBSD. Take care, and happy FreeBSD'ing! OpenBSD is another I want to check out, but mainly as my NAT router/firewall/bastion host. >>Brandon, > >You can't ping anything outside the cable company's LAN but can you access >any outside resources?

A simple point in the right direction does me just fine. A reply that notified me of my error and was not quite as terse may have been more appropriate, but it did not bother me as much as it seemed to hit a nerve with others. The reply accomplished what it was supposed to. Thanks to those who replied. The cdplay works now.

The NT Server is my PDC / Proxy Server / File Server / Print Server (don't laugh). My Primary machine is the Win2000 box. My wife's machine is the Win98 box. I'm using Wingate 3.0 as my proxy server software on the NT machine, but I'm getting more and more frustrated with the things that Wingate can't do (IRC send/receive, some internet gaming, etc. Not to mention the overhead it requires - Stuff runs awfully slow sometimes). I know that it's possible to set up FreeBSD to act as a firewall/proxy server but I'm at a loss to figure this out. I've got Kernel PPPD working but as far as IP aliasing, packet forwarding, etc, goes, I'm kinda "Gump-ish". I've read the man pages, tutorials, and several other resources but it's just not coming together for me. Can anyone walk me through this or point to another resource that I might have missed?

I dunno, you may have already received several notes on this. The newbies group charter is slightly confusing. I think you're supposed to use it to comment on the wonder you achieved by learning how to add alias addresses to your NIC in the questions group. Maybe someone will correct me, too. ;) Use something like this to add 10.0.0.1: (replacing ed0 with your nic device) ifconfig ed0 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias It'll work immediately, but put it in your rc.conf to survive boots. There's lots of info in the docs, faq, archives, and ifconfig manpage on this stuff. Usually more than enough to thoroughly confuse. :) -Dave On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Paul Chung wrote: > Does anyone know how to setup multiple IP addresses on a single network card > for FreeBSD 3.3-R? > > Thanks! > Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Sun Jan 30 23:58:50 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from shell.tsoft.com (shell.tsoft.com [198.144.192.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A74C14E45 for ; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 23:58:49 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mperry@tsoft.com) Received: from m206-45.dsl.tsoft.com (m206-45.dsl.tsoft.com [198.144.206.45]) by shell.tsoft.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id XAA12069 for ; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 23:58:48 -0800 (PST) Received: from mperry by m206-45.dsl.tsoft.com with local (Exim 2.05 #1 (Debian)) id 12FBgN-0000Hm-00; Sun, 30 Jan 2000 23:55:35 -0800 Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2000 23:55:35 -0800 From: Michael Perry To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: exim and sendmail Message-ID: <20000130235535.A1081@tsoft.com> Reply-To: Michael Perry Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I use exim on debian gnu/linux only. in BSD I am brand new.

Trying to get my ISP dial-up going, Installed Xisp I can get the intial call in but when I get prompted for Username: and Password: with using PAP and papsecrets file correctly set up. or by setting up the send and expects fields correctly without pap it and to bring up a post dialup terminal screen I can't enter in the username or password it just doesn't work. It just gets to the Username: prompt and sits there stupidly. And I tried every config. option in Xisp, the connection gets established xisp, just doesn't send my username and password nor does it let me type it in. So, I went to defcon1.org and downloaded the two scripts that I figured I would try to use. ppp_script2.sh I can run the script and answer all the questions and provide the appropriate info, but when I get to the end of it and it says it is going to write the files it just crashes at or near line 356 near "else" basically for when it should rename (mv) the old the ppp.conf file? Now is this script only for sh? or csh? Cuz I am running bash, is this the problem? also, tried to install and run PPP-config.0.2.2.tar.gz but make runs fine but when I run make install it's general flakiness Do these scripts actually work? Any, comments, suggestions, info, insights, and help would be greatly appreciated.

Install it ! It doesn't take up much space (30 or 40 MB, perhaps), it just takes _long_ to install. The ports-scheme is just a skeleton for installing the real software. You go into one of the directories, perhaps /usr/ports/www/netscape47-communicator and enter make install All files will be fetched from the internet or CDROM. if it was succesful, you can run make clean afterwards, to save space. When I was new to FreeBSD, I thought that with the ports, all the software was already installed and somehow hidden there. :-) cheers, Rainer -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Rainer Duffner, E-Mail: duffner@fh-konstanz.de | | & Rainer.Duffner@surf24.de | |Fachhochschule Konstanz, Germany | |"What's a Network ?" - Bill Gates, early 1980s | | WWW:http://www-stud.fh-konstanz.de/~duffner | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Thu Feb 17 7:19:19 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from hydrant.intranova.net (hydrant.intranova.net [209.201.95.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id E1EA937B734 for ; Thu, 17 Feb 2000 07:19:16 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from oogali@intranova.net) Received: (qmail 91894 invoked from network); 17 Feb 2000 15:18:10 -0000 Received: from localhost (oogali@127.0.0.1) by hydrant.intranova.net with SMTP; 17 Feb 2000 15:18:10 -0000 Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 10:18:10 -0500 (EST) From: Omachonu Ogali To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ports ?

FreeBSD comes with a ftp server right out of the box and when you install you are asked if you want anonymous ftp. See also /stand/sysinstall, if you want to do this later.

Yes. If there are multiple copyrights, which do not explicitly follow the terms of the "BSD" license, you will need the permission of the various copyright holders if whatever you plan to do falls outside the scope of their license. The entire FreeBSD kernel is under a "BSD" license, AFAIK. But other portions of code are not; e.g.: softupdates, gcc, and so forth. These have slightly different licenses. As usual, see a lawyer first; also, what you've said so far is petty vague, so it's difficult to tell if what you're planning to do is or is not covered by the existing license. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-newbies Fri Feb 18 17:30:21 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Received: from phoenix.welearn.com.au (phoenix.welearn.com.au [139.130.44.81]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F071237BB4B for ; Fri, 18 Feb 2000 17:30:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sue@phoenix.welearn.com.au) Received: (from sue@localhost) by phoenix.welearn.com.au (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA47474 for freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org; Sat, 19 Feb 2000 12:30:08 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from sue) Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2000 12:30:08 +1100 (EST) From: Sue Blake Message-Id: <200002190130.MAA47474@phoenix.welearn.com.au> To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD Newbies First Aid Kit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit (This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD-Newbies mailing list. 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.

Well I've done it from floppies on some = 386's we=20 use as gateway boxes but it takes a while :)
 
There is a trick not explained in the = handbook as=20 well as I'd like about exactly what goes on the
floppies .... from memory the "Complete = FreeBSD"=20 covers it quite well though ..... basically what
you need to do=20 is DOS format a bunch of floppies, create "bin" directories on each one = &=20 copy
as many of the files in the "bin" = directory on the=20 FTP site as will fit .... whats not mentioned clearly
though is that you MUST put a copy of = "bin.inf" on=20 each floppy or it won't work ... at least thats
what happened here every time I tried = it=20
