Verify this by either a) running "host 192.168.2.11" on the firewall box, or b) just waiting a really long time for the login to work - don't get frustrated and close the window - give it like half an hour to actually give you a prompt. -Jason ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?" -- Mike Godwin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQE8csZhswXMWWtptckRAvCCAJ9sgKrt5+5HYmr0EnbIhDxc6VnoGACgo5JI 1VTixXabCaozMssnIpRQrQM= =udfU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
