I added a Powerbook, OS X, to the local network, configured /etc/hosts
and /etc/resolv.conf. PB can ping the other boxes ok, but can't see the
Internet. The other boxes can ping the PB ok. Looks like a firewall
problem. If I connect the PB to the cable modem directly, the PB
connects ok.
It appears that the PB is trying to send UDP packets out on port 67, so
I tried to open up the firewall for UDP traffic (not a good idea?) but
still can't see outside the local network. Attached is my rc.firewall.
In /etc/rc.conf I have firewall_type="open" and added some rules to the
"open" section in rc.firewall.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Is the powerbook set to use the gateway as a gateway?Mark Thomas --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----> http://www.pbegames.com/~thomas Play by Electron Games -> http://www.pbegames.com Free Trial Games
This was exactly the problem. It occurred to me while I was at work.
I needed to provide the ip to the gateway. Easy fix, sorry for the noise,
thanks for the reply.
Also sorry for the formatting of this if it's screwed up.
