To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 1 Jun 1995 15:11:17 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1542 Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK, together with one of our universities network administrators some questions on the following matter: I have 2 ways of dialing in to my university (both using the same dialin line though) 1. Dial in to the annex, get a dynamic IP-address 2. Dial in to the annex, log in to a machine that I'm SA of, set up PPP over there and get a static IP address When using option 2 I can use sup to acquire the -current sources. Using option 1 I can't set up a sup-connection... I get errors like timeouts, not reachable etc... All other things work quite OK, just supping won't. Some extra information that might help: when dialin in, I get a hostname like annex1s??.urc.tue.nl where ?? stands for the portnumber of the annex. Since there are 'world-access' dialin accounts, and 'local-access' accounts, this hostname has 2 IP-addresses: 131.155.12.(P+10) and 131.155.12.(P+137), where the latter can only access local hosts (131.155.*.* that is). One possibility we thought of was the following: A connection is made to the supfileserver... it tries to acquire the hostname and IP-address, and gets both addresses (P+10 and P+137) tries to compare the incoming address to the wrong possibility and can't connect back... Any one got a clue??? Would it work to add an extra alias name to the ppp0 device on my own machine? it can't be traceroute 50% of the time (because of the round robin reply methode of our nameserver) Any idea what the logfiles on freebsd.org look like in this case? Thanx in advance... Greetings, Mark Huizer
