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 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.
