Hi, I have tried searching the archives and in vain. Hence i am posting to this group. If this not the right one, pls direct me. I am using FreeBSD 6.1. Initially i was able to create socket, bind it and do all sorts of things. But when i tried now, it isn't working. I am trying after a long gap. The errno is 49 - invalid address. I used gethostbyname and it returns whatever is there in /etc/hosts. I have checked the /etc/resolv.conf. My config details are /etc/rc.conf hostname="Balaji" /etc/hosts 192.168.1.1 Balaji 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 I tried setting Balaji to 0.0.0.0, still it doesn't work. Pls help me. Also, when my system boots, couple of eye-catchy messages syslogd: can't bind address sm_mta[root]:syserror : can't assign address // i hope this is wrt mail/smtp My suspect is that, the error happens after my system was shutdown improperly(sudden power off and my laptop battery isn't working, and ofcourse i am freebsd on my toshiba tera laptop - P4). I have done fdisk to ensure my disk is clean. Thanks, Balaji.
