I am running a stand alone FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine that is occassionally
connected to the internet using the pppd daemon, I noticed that I cannot
telnet to my ppp interface address (which works in linux):
# netstat -r
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
Expire
default ns3.best.com UGSc 6 0 ppp0
localhost localhost UH 0 154 lo0
ns3.best.com mdean.vip.best.com UH 0 0 ppp0
# ifconfig -au
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 296
inet 206.86.94.101 --> 204.156.128.1 netmask 0xffffff00
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
# telnet 206.86.94.101
Trying 206.86.94.101... (this just hangs...)
# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.cdrom.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
FreeBSD (counterintelligence.cdrom.com) (ttyp2)
login:
but localhost (i.e. loopback works fine)
This seems funny to me:
# route get 206.86.94.101
route to: mdean.vip.best.com
destination: mdean.vip.best.com
gateway: ns3.best.com
interface: ppp0
flags: <UP,GATEWAY,HOST,DONE,WASCLONED,PROTO3,LOCAL>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu expire
16384 16384 0 0 0 0 296 3541
I take this to mean my machine is routing packets that should go through
the loopback out to my isp's router and it is probably discarding them,
have I configured something wrong? Also, are you supposed to have
127.0.0.1 point to localhost AND your hostname in this kind of
configuration, I thought that was bad. I don't understand why it is not
able to route to its own interface?
