Your rc.conf entries make sense for what your described in your set-up, but I can't see (logically) how setting an IP address in rc.conf in my case would affect the router's passing http requests onto my gateway instead of loading its login page.., I had a look around for port forwarding functions in the router menus but can't find this anywhere.., Not sure on how to proceed here.., either.., Stacey On Sun, 2002-07-07 at 19:38, sagacious wrote: > Take a look at my rc.conf for my server which you see as www.unixhideout.com > its behind a hardware firewall, router. > > > ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" > defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" > hostname="labs" > inetd_enable="YES" > inetd_flags="-l -R 1024" > syslogd_flags="-ss -m 0" > kern_securelevel_enable="YES" > kern_securelevel="3" > ntpdate_enable="YES" > ntpdate_flags="ntp.nasa.gov" > sendmail_enable="YES" > linux_enable="YES" > named_enable="YES" > named_flags="-u bind -g bind -t /etc/namedb/sandbox" > > > I left the rest in as possibly you could learn from the other settings but > what we are focusing on is this, > > " > ifconfig_xl0="inet 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" > defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" > hostname="labs" > " > > All thats doing is saying, use the DHCP server,however i want a static IP > one that wont change.
