Hi, I have a problem trying to telnet to a FreeBSD host running version 2.0R. The problem is that the host seems to forget the address of the machine trying to connect to it. I can connect to the BSD machine the first time after its been booted but then if I drop the connection and wait a reasonable time, say 20 minutes or so, I can't reconnect unless I refresh the arp tables using arp -a on the BSD host i wish to connect to. The setup of the machine is pretty well out of the box, all I have changed is kernel configuration to recognise my ethernet card and yesterday I also recompiled the kernel to include bpfilter. If I run tcpdump while I am trying to connect it shows the requests on the BSD host but it doesn't make the connection. Any thoughts ? ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! =========================================================================
