Well, I dont have a whole lot of helpful information to offer you on this one. I am glad you like FreeBSD. I fought with Linux for years and stuck around with it to view its progress. Linux has come a long way from when I first started using it. Linux is a very nice server, but despite what...

Really Cool, welcome to the club!!! I just want to add a few statements and not much techical stuff. Like yourself, I started with Linux and still use, and will continue to use Linux. Out of curiosity, I installed FreeBSD. Damn!!! It looked similar to Linux, but I saw many intimidating...

I apologize for not responding immediately. I have not visited this site for a while but I reread the whole thread. My answer remains the same. I do value, however being able to find the balance where the customer is satisfied while you being able to provide the the support they need based...

Hello All, I am wondering if FreeBSD 4.4 is vulnerable to this thing called h4x0red 1337. I have been doing a bit research on it and found various names that are very close to this one. From what I have read Criminal Hackers use this to hack websites and other stuff. It appears to be some...

Just to add a little info, I just got wine to work on Linux even thought this is not a Linux forum. I cant explain exactly how, I got Counter-Strike to work but it works, its very slow though and I am picking at the config to see exactly what I did. Wine does work though, and from...

ThanX alot for everyones help. I have tried Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4 just to check whether there was any incompatibilities with UNIX/Linux. I have tried different combinations of hardware minimizing the amount of memory and even with a single CPU. I have never, ever experienced such...

Im not gonna talk too much: Ill give you my config files of a working FreeBSD (mines 4.4) should be almost if not identical to 4.5. The point is mines working now. /etc/rc.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Fri May 31 01:44:00 2002 # Created: Fri May 31 01:44:00 2002 # Enable...

I had just configured my FreeBSD router to connect to my DSL provider using PPPOE successfully. My dsl is capped of course, I have about 10 pcs behind it, I can access the internet with no problem from any computer on my LAN. I understand that DSL bandwith is not that fast in todays...

ThanX, Yes it is running netd fine. That part works good. It just that when I run a port scan or try to run services through there they appear as closed. If you look at the very top of this post, youll see my rc.conf file and see that natd is enabled along with other configs. I do...

This site covers recompiling your kernel to activate ipfw. Ipfw is working, the problem that I am having is mapping the ports to the proper computers on the network so that they can have access to the internet. I had just tried something to test that internally. I added a static route on...

Tough one, but Ill see if I can at least point you the right direction here. I dont know enuf about XP's QoS to bring that up so Ill assume that both XP and Unix along with the nic cards, the hardware and your high speed connection are working fine already. There is one thing I might suspect...

I agree with the guy above, heres the thing with VNC, its sluggish, it works, i can control my nt4 server, and win98 boxes from my Linux-Station. There are alternatives that may cost money, and Ihavent tried yet. VMWare, and Omni. Omni is a company you might want to look at since it most...

Darn, Cable swap like crazy, swap ports on the hub like crazy, do what the guy above told you. Reset the hub, run /etc/rc.netstar and ping bidirectionally. I dont think you have a firewall setup on this box so thats all Ill mention about it. If your pcs assuming they are windows have any...

Some people may eat me alive for saying the following. You dont need to configure a firewall before setting up dual nics. In fact you dont even need to recompile your kernel to do anything. Just stick with what you probabley did first, which was installing the system with the nics...

Well it depends, I got a SAM'S shell scripting book, a couple of years ago. I have no other programming expirience and am most effective in bash. There are many Unix shells including C as you know, and Perl in case you didnt know. I dont know either of the two languages so I could not give you...

This is a toughy but Ill see what theories might point you in the right direction. First it must be determined whether it is a network problem or an internal problem, being the hardware or operating system in the pc. Network check: Im sure you know several netstat, ps, and sockstat commands...

Bad Idea... Expect lots of problems headaches etc. Even if it were to work out okay which it can, it defeats the purpose of utilizing both operating systems simultaneausely. If you want to learn any kind of Unix, dedicate one system to it and stay away from the lame Microsoft-Tech-Mentality...

This is my firewall configureation on FreeBSD 4.4 below. cat /etc/rc.conf: # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Mon May 20 04:07:50 2002 # Created: Mon May 20 04:07:50 2002 # Enable network daemons for user convenience. # Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf. #...

Well, I dont know if this will be really helpful but Ill give you some ideas based on what I currently operate. I use Samba, NFS, and FTP together. By using these three servers alone I find that all of the hard and time consuming work pays off heavily by providing a very convenient and...
