Mounting Sony PSP
I would really like to mount my PSP in FreeBSD so I can on and off load files on my workstation, instead of having to use another, else where. Has anybody been able to mount it? Or have a How-To some place I could use? Thus far all my searches have come up with anything but what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Mounting Sony PSP
| Hi, | | First check if with the dmesg command you can see your PSP, you should | read something like this: | | umass0: USB Solid state disk, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 | GEOM: create disk da0 dp=0xc2d74850 | da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 | da0: Generic Traveling Disk 1.11 Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device | da0: 1.000MB/s transfers | da0: 126MB (258048 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 126C) | | Then, you need to mount your PSP with: | | mount_msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/PSP | | There is a chapter in the handbook about USB device | http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html | | HTH | | Regards. | | -- | There's this old saying: Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach | a man to fish, feed him for life. `--- Thank you! This did the trick. As long as I have it mounted Amarok sees it, and once I handle the permissions, I will be able to send files back and forth to it. I was looking at /dev/usb1 and wasn't getting anywhere. Now I can toy with this.

Source Update problems
I've been trying to update source, and ports late and I can't connect. I keep getting a message saying that connection is refused: # make update -- Running /usr/local/bin/cvsup -- Parsing supfile /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile Connecting to cvsup8.FreeBSD.org Cannot connect to cvsup8.FreeBSD.org: Connection refused There's nothing to prevent this. I don't block anything, and the only thing that changed was that I'm trying to make this same machine my wireless gateway as well. I think the only thing I added was: options BRIDGE I have the following in my /etc/make.conf: SUPFLAGS=-L 2 SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup SUPHOST=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile PORTSSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile DOCSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile At one point I had a different CVS server listed, but I got the same message. Does anybody have any sort of ideas? I can't even install packages. That BRIDGE option couldn't have done this, could it? I can access anything else with no problems. Thanks for the suggestions. tdh -- +- \./ | Tim Holmes -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0Y0) | UIN: 17021091 -- AIM: tdh004 -ooO--(_)--Ooo--+- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Source Update problems
| Can you | | ping cvsup8.FreeBSD.org | | Can you | | telnet cvsup8.FreeBSD.org cvsup O.K. This is weird. I can ping and telnet to the host from a machine on my network.

FreeBSD Wireless Acces Point
I just picked up a LinkSys WMP55AG, and installed it. I added the wlan and ath options to the kernel and rebuilt it with out fail. I'm running 5.4-STABLE, and this machine is my gateway. It already had 2 NICs to handle this. I know want it to handle any wireless traffic as well. I've searched for Wireless Access Point HOW-TOs, and they all seem to have out dated information. Suggesting commands that are depreciated. None of them show how to set this up in /etc/rc.conf either, so everything runs at boot. Does anybody have a recent HOW-TO that will help me set this and wireless security up? Or any sort of notes anybody's used in the past. Thanks in advance for the help.

Wireless Card Suggestion
I've finally decided to add wireless to my gateway. It's already doing all my gateway and firewall duties, and more and more people are coming over with wireless devices and I'd like to offer them the option of using my network. Instead of buying a wireless router, I plan to just add a card to my existing server and go from there. But I'd like some suggestions on cards to check out. I have a friend who's using a Linksys card, but he's uses a Linksys router. The one he uses is 54Mbps, and I've seen a number of 108Mbps and 125Mbps. Since I'm using this for a gateway, should I go for a card with higher Mbps? Or do you really think that will make a difference? Either way, I'd like you guys' suggestions on a wireless card that will do the trick, and let me know what speed you'd recommend as well.

NFS help
Trying to move a NFS share to another NFS server and having a bit of trouble with it. I moved all the files and and I edited exports. /etc/exports /home/install/fbsd -network 192.168.2.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /home/install/mdk -network 192.168.2.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Now the 1st one works just fine. I can mount /home/install/fbsd across my network, but I can't mount the /home/install/mdk. I've restarted the nfs server several times, but I still can't get that second share to become available. Am I missing something? Is that config incorrect? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

SuperTux isn't bad. It's a lot like Super Mario 3, can be pretty fun. I've played it with a keyboard, but it would be ideal with a controller. There's a network Monopoly game that I've played with my sister on rainy days that can be fun. There's of course Free Civ, though not so sure a 10 year old might enjoy. Frozen-Bubble is a lot of fun. A SDL game that FreeBSD should be able to handle. KDE has some games in their kdegames package that can be entertaining. There are a few network tetris or network tetris like games. Somebody else mentioned an IRC server or the like. Would be good for her and friends. Could even let other parents know about it, and they could use it for help on homework and the like. And I'm sure there's somebody around here that plays 3D accelerated games in FreeBSD that might offer up some info as well. I hope you find something that can capture her interests. And if you find something, put something together. I'm sure there are a number of parents and aunts and uncles that could benefit from what you find out.

Re: searching ports doesn work
I think you did what I did. and it does take a while. There's a much easier and faster way to do this if you're online. I wasn't at the time, so I had to build it manually. When you do the make search keyblah and there isn't a /usr/ports/INDEX5 it builds one. I ~think~ it basically looks at all packages finds out info about it, and then builds the index. However if you download it, it's faster. make fetchindex Do that in /usr/ports and it will download the INDEX5, put it in /usr/ports and now when you type make seach key=blah it will have that to search. I think it took my PII 400 36 hours to build it's INDEX5. Poor machine. tdh | Hi folks, | | well, I have just installed freebsd 4.11 .

FreeBSD Gateway problems
For years I've used a FreeBSD as my gateway. Well I haven't had a high speed connection for 3 years now, and I've just gotten it back. Since then I've reloaded the machine from 4.3 to 5.3. I thought I had it all set up so when I did get connection, I could make a quick edit to my rc.conf and I'd be ready to go. Well turns out I was way off. The machine has no problems geting an IP from the cable modem, and I can get anywhere I want from that machine directly. (I'm currently ssh'd to the router machine to send email, use w3m to find How-Tos) But it won't pass traffic from the rest of the network. Here are the settings in my rc.conf: gateway_enable=YES # Enable as Lan gateway # firewall_enable=YES natd_enable=YES natd_interface=xl0 natd_flags=-f /etc/natd.conf ipmon_enable=YES ipmon_flags=-Ds The firewall_enable is disable now because when it's turned on, I can't actually get out from directly on the machine. At this point I just want it to do the routing and then I can work on building a firewall afterwards. Before I did the update and rebuilt the kernel yesterday, I had these options in rc.conf # ipnat_enable=YES# Start ipnat function # ipnat_rules=/etc/ipnat.rules# rules definition file for ipnat # ipfilter_enable=YES # Start ipf firewall # ipfilter_rules=/etc/ipf.rules # loads rules definition text file Well all these other How-Tos I found on FreeBSDDiary.org told me all I needed was gateway_enable=YES and firewall_enable=YES. Also to add these two options to the kernel: options IPFILTER options IPDIVERT But that wasn't working. Another mentioned I needed defaultrouter=192.168.2.254, but that's not doing it either. It wasn't actually running nat, and I'd get errors if I tried to start. Here's the message I saw at boot after a new kernel. 1: unexpected keyword (any) - from /sbin/ipf: /etc/ipf.rules: parse error (-1), quitting /etc/rc: WARNING: NO IPNAT RULES After following some other How-Tos I tried running ipfw, but I keep getting an error message that won't return any helpful searches from Google. # ipnat -f /etc/ipnat.conf ioctl(SIOCGNATS): Operation not permitted # ipfw -f flush ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_FLUSH): Protocol not available # ipf -FA -f /etc/ipf.rules ioctl(SIOCIPFFL): Operation not permitted # ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via xl0 ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Protocol not available None of those error messages will give me anything to go. So I'm at a lose here. Can anybody point me to How-To, or share their rc.conf edits to make this work? I know this was a little long, but thanks in advance for the help. tdh -- +- \./ | Tim Holmes -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (0Y0) | UIN: 17021091 -- AIM: tdh004 -ooO--(_)--Ooo--+- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
