This is very strange - I can't get traceroute to work as I expect. Forgive me if I'm being stupid as well as blind, but perusing the man page for traceroute brings no joy.
It simply doesn't produce expected results - I don't think I'm on the same network as www.freebsd.org, so where are the answers from all of the intervening hops? zsquid# traceroute www.freebsd.org traceroute to www.freebsd.org (69.147.83.33), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 www.freebsd.org (69.147.83.33) 1.050 ms 0.970 ms 2.110 ms Why is this so important? Well, I'm in a network segment with two routers, and I'm trying to determine that the machine is using the correct default gateway. uname -a yeilds: FreeBSD zsquid.mycompany.com 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Fri Jun 1 16:03:26 PDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 /etc/rc.conf has these lines: defaultrouter="192.168.8.4" hostname="zsquid.mycompany.com" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.8.72 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig shows the following: fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.8.72 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.8.255 ether 00:11:11:2b:db:97 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Kurt _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
