In the first place: please forgive me for asking this on -hackers. Problem: for an event I want to use a FreeBSD box as a WWW proxy server. 'Hidden' after this box should be some 10-20 PCs. Proxy <-> Internet will be some sort of ppp link. To be safe, we thought we'd better use addresses for these PCs from the 'private net' range. Text below is taken from the 205R /etc/hosts. # According to RFC 1597, you can use the following IP networks for # private nets which will never be connected to the Internet: # # 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 # 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 # 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 When the FreeBSD box is given the address 192.168.200.22 on it's local ethernet the system hangs on boot while executing /etc/netstart. More specifically it hangs when executing 'route add default dontpanic localhost'. Dontpanic is of course the box itself. ^C ing it through netstart results in a system that works OK on the ethernet. Things like 'telnet agrajag' (a Sun Sparcserver) work OK. Things like 'nslookup' timeout telling me the nameserver cannot be reached. This nameserver is the same Sun.. Lacking an RFC1597 to RTFM I appreciate comments on how to do this. A couple of Suns we have on the same net did'nt oppose to the change in adress. Before we used 192.9.200.xx, this worked fine for all systems, Suns & FreeBSD I assume there is something plain stupid in what we do ;-) ;-) Wilko _ __________________________________________________________________________ | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte email: wilko@yedi.iaf.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) Private FreeBSD site - Arnhem - The Netherlands --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
