[-- Attachment #1 --] I have spent the last 48 - 72 hours pounding my head against the wall attempting to get a few things to work correctly. FreeBSD 4.2 running on a pretty basic hardware setup. It seems to be running just fine. My problems are when I start trying to configure a few things Sendmail and Qpopper I've managed to get working. This was a pleasant surprise :) DNS may NOT be working. It's hard to tell from inside my network but I'm beginning to suspect that it's my secondary name server which is resolving the domain for the world. Named is starting up and tells me things like Zone "name" (file) is using SOA minimum and that named is ready to answer queries. However, the seconday won't load, my secondary DNS still has the old entries, and in Linux it used to say "Zone MASTER" now it just says "Zone". The firewall is a nightmare. I followed the default using client and simple and both of those lock me out and prevent forwarding. I get "Failed to write packet back (Permission Denied)". Only "open" works. I also tried the example from the graveconcern site and I get the same problems. I've followed the examples straight out of the complete FreeBSD book and STILL my inside network can't get out. Just when I leave the firewall wide open. Has anyone experienced similiar problems? Anyone have any recommendations for me to conduct some last bit of research before I throw in the towel? I'm not stupid, I've managed to get my linux server running, but I'm having WAY too many problems with no information here. Some things are just NOT making sense.
