I posted this once week or so ago, but I never got an answer for either
question so..
I seem to be having a couple of minor problems with 3.1. I think
beforehand i need to give a little info on my setup though. Im using my
freebsd box to connect to my isp, and using the ppp -alias option to
allow my lan access to the net using my freebsd box as a gateway. My
dialup ip number is dynamic, and to get a static ip address im using a
service that provides a hostname that translates into your current ip
address.
The first problem im having is i keep getting this message from syslogd
on my console:
May 10 13:40:52 slipstream sendmail[361]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.1.3)
failed: 1
I'm not sure what this is for, but I know sendmail should be using my
normal ip address and not my lan address...
The second problem i'm having is whenever i get disconnected from my
isp, ppp auto reconnects (im using the -ddial argument to ppp). However,
every time it reconnects, it doesn't seem to be deleting my old IP
address. right now, this is what I get from doing an ifconfig tun0:
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1524
inet 216.119.27.53 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
inet 216.119.27.81 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
inet 216.119.27.137 --> 216.119.31.19 netmask 0xffffff00
My current ip address at the time is 216.119.27.137, that should be the
only valid ip address.
Anyone know whats up?
