Change rules so they look this.
$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
$fwcmd add allow udp from $oip to 66.135.144.2 53
$fwcmd add allow udp from $oip to 66.135.128.68 53
$fwcmd add allow tcp from $oip to 66.135.144.2 53
$fwcmd add allow tcp from $oip to 66.135.128.68 53

Subject: Can't connect to DNS servers -- Firewall prob?
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.
