Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org panic.polar.on.ca, a FreeBSD 2.2.6 machine, can't ping itself. When squid is installed it fails to reach the web sites that are associated with the aliased IP addresses. I've had the same problem with 2.2.4 and 2.2.5. I thought it was a bug, I guess it is a feature. IP address of machine is .101. Alias address are shown below. Alias entries are created in rc.conf like this: ifconfig_ep0_alias0="inet 199.212.22.99 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_ep0_alias1="inet 199.212.22.102 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_ep0_alias2="inet 199.212.22.106 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_ep0_alias3="inet 199.212.22.107 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_ep0_alias4="inet 199.212.22.108 netmask 255.255.255.192" How can I make aliases do what I expect? Under OS/2 I can ping aliases created with "ifconfig ... alias." Do I need another parameter? Do I need to create specific arp entries? How do I do that? ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 199.212.22.101 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 inet 199.212.22.99 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 inet 199.212.22.102 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 inet 199.212.22.106 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 inet 199.212.22.107 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 inet 199.212.22.108 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 199.212.22.127 ether 00:a0:24:0e:ff:42 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
