Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD-2.1.0 from CD-ROM, but I have a question.
When I tried to use the talk program to talk to somebody else who
dialed in on my computer, talk showed the following error on the top
line:
[Couldn't bind to control socket : Can't assign requested address
(49)]
I searched in the news archives on minnie, and two other persons had
the same questions.
What it comes down to (I think) is that I don't have a route (or can't
connect) to my own (standalone) machine, see the following telnet
attempt:
| bash$ uname -a
| FreeBSD tangram.xs4all.nl 2.1.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Thu
Nov 16 10:47:14 1995
jkh@westhill.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
| bash$ grep '^[^#]' /etc/hosts
| 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.xs4all.nl
| 192.168.0.1 tangram.xs4all.nl tangram
| bash$ # xs4all.nl is my ISP
| bash$ set -x
| bash$ time telnet `hostname`
| ++ hostname
| + time telnet tangram.xs4all.nl
| Trying 192.168.0.1...
| telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Operation timed out
| 76.13 real 0.01 user 0.02 sys
Other important config ---[ /etc/sysconfig ]---
network_interfaces="lo0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
static_routes="loopback"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
defaultrouter=NO
routedflags=NO
namedflags="NO"
gateway=NO
gated=NO
netstat -r gives me:
+ netstat -r

I hope that somebody can help me out. Thanks in advance...
