After using it the box reboots but will not go online so I can log in remotely as this is not an on premise box. I need to tell the tech's what I need done in order to repair it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. >From: Nils Vogels >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: IP Problems >Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2003 01:20:12 +0200 > >On Thu, Aug 21, 2003 at 07:00:32PM -0400, Ben Dover (BD) wrote: >BD> OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger >than >BD> what I have found but here goes.

I have a dedicated 5.1 FreeBSD box and when I did a dmesg I received a repeating message as follows: arplookup 66.246.xx.1 failed: host is not on local network This peaked my curiosity so I pinged the bank of IP's I have in the range of that IP and I was able to ping them with a response. Something quick I can do to test to see if the IP will bind is compile an IRC bouncer. I found the bouncer would not bind to the IP 66.246.xx.185 as a normal account user and the bouncer would not function. If I SU to root and start the bouncer the IP would bind and the bouncer would function correctly. It should be noted that the bouncer was compiled as the normal account user. I have two different sets of IP's on my box and I have added them in the rc.conf in the following way: ifconfig_sis0_alias10="inet 209.123.xx.200 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_sis0_alias11="inet 66.246.xx.185 netmask 255.255.255.255" Do I have the IP's added wrong in rc.conf? What am I doing wrong? Why do I receive the dmesg which appears to be an error? Any assistance would be appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month. http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup
