Could not request local forwarding.
It seems to me that you have a problem with a firewall. Look at
your own
message. It looks like port 15901 is closed for listening.
Here is another clue. Something seems to be wrong with the loopback:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
ripple# ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
I have not set up a firewall on this host, so the problem is something
else, perhaps the output above from ifconfig helps.
Yes that was the problem. I did this:
ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
After that I could ping localhost and my VNC connection via SSH
succeeded.
Now how do I fix this problem permanently in FreeBSD, by running
sysinstall again and setting the loopback address from there?
