long-story short, a friend who is a serious network guru kept
insisting that my new server have a STATIC ip, not one supplied by
DHCP. ...So i forced my pfsense firewall to lock down the IP of the
server-to-be [in services_dhcp.php (if memory serves)]. i mostly
forgot about that static config, so the new computer failed to work
correctly with what IP i was told to type in.
aeound 03:43 it slammed into my mind that if i 'x' out the config
on my pfsense box that i might be able to comply with my pal's
instructions. [[yeah, you can call him any number of names from X
to Z, but the facts are they this guy has been right--consistantly--
for the two years i've known him.]]
since noon here, i have my new computer running the latest 7.2, it
has a fixed IP, and i expect to have my services switched over by
monday. ---hope the power holds; autumn && seattle mean wind storms
and power-outs, ... and my 1998 kayak (ns1.thought.org) has about three
power-cycles left.
