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. _________________________________________________________________ Get faster connections -- switch to MSN Internet Access! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
