next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have 2 computers on a network -- one freebsd 4.7 and one slackware linux.
The slackware linux box is able to connect to the DNS servers no problem, so
I know it's not a problem with my ISP.
My FreeBSD 4.7 box is unable to contact either primary or secondary
nameservers.
I have explicitly added these rules to my /etc/rc.firewall:
$fwcmd add allow udp from 66.135.144.2 53 to $oip
$fwcmd add allow udp from 66.135.128.68 53 to $oip
$fwcmd add allow tcp from 66.135.144.2 53 to $oip
$fwcmd add allow tcp from 66.135.128.68 53 to $oip
(where $oip is my external IP address).
Another possibly related thing is that on bootup, my server hangs
indefinitely as the initializing "hostname" part. I need to hard break it
with CTRL+C to continue bootup.
Any ideas? I don't know how to tell if this is a larger problem with my
server configuration or somethign to do with a firewall rule. Suggestions
appreciated.
