Re: traceroute works - ping doesn't
Appears the remote firewall admin has made a change and didn't inform us - the icmp port has been closed. I tried to install Apache earlier today, first app install on this particular box, but it failed. Every server it tried to download from resulted in no access, not found message. I just tried again, and it finally found a server to download from after trying a long list of them. I used port_install this last time. It appears to be going okay now.

traceroute works - ping doesn't
I just installed FreeBSD-5.1 this morning and noticed I couldn't access the internet. I tried to ping a web site but got no response. I ran traceroute and after a minute or so got a complete traceroute. Any idea why I can't ping but can traceroute? I am unable to run make install to install ports because it doesn't connect.

Re: dual-boot question
So, I reinstalled w2k, first trying the repair option, which doesn't provide the option to change the file system format from ntfs to fat, then did a complete reinstall, formatting in fat32. Guess what? It did not overwrite the boot sector, the original freebsd boot menu is still there and still works. In fact, previously, it showed two questions marks for the f1 option (w2k), now it shows dos for the f1 option. I certainly wasn't expecting that. Anyway, just thought I'd share that bit, it was something of a surprise to me, I expected it to overwrite the boot sector like all previos versions of winblows.

dual-boot question
I have a box running fbsd/w2k but am considering replacing w2k with win98. There are problems with wine not being able to run apps on w2k partition properly, or at all. I realize if I install win98 it will wipe out my boot partition, thus making it so I can't boot into fbsd, which I use 99% of the time.

midi files appear to play but with no sound
I can play cd's using workman, and mp3's using xmms, but cannot play midis. That is, I can play them in xmms (I installed the midi plugin, there just is no sound from .mid files only. Also tried playmidi but it says the sequencer is not configured. I have /dev/sequencer and /dev/sequencer0. What do I have to do to configure them? The Handbook doesn't cover this problem. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

I have that set up now and it works for the logitech mouse, but the wireless mouse just won't work. When I try the frequency change button on the base unit it locks up X. I unplug the wireless, plug in the logitech and it works fine. Plug in the wireless and nothing, a cursor that doesn't move. In the terminal plugging in and unplugging the wireless shows the appropriate usb connection information. -- Chip > Bye, > > Gernot > > > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > > Von: chip wiegand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 26.

directory listing doesn't show all files
I have a mixed network of FreeBSD boxes and Win98 boxes. On one FBSD box I use shlight to mount the c: drive of one win98 box. Works fine. When I browser, in any file manager or command line, a directory on the win98 box which contains almost 400 mp3's, on the FBSD box the directory listing shows only the first 167 files.

Xfree86 Setup problem continued with changes
Okay, I have X running in 640x480 or 320x240 modes. As you can see in the XFree86Config file below it is set to display at higher resolutions. I know the monitor will do it because the box dual-boots win2k and it runs the graphics at 1024x768/16bit. I added an old AGP video card, disabled the onboard video.

xfree question not answered on the xfree lists, maybe here?
I put this on chat becuase it's a bit off topic, and it has yet to be answered on the xfree lists. I just installed fbsd 4.7 on a new box, at the prompt to configure the x server said no, and finished the install. I then ran XFree86 -configure and copied the XFree86Config to /etc/X11/. When I start X it starts okay except it will only run in 4 bit mode. Even when I try to force it to 16 bit at the startx prompt, it will default to 4. I tried to comment out the 4bit subsection the XFree will only complain that it's not there and fail to load. I know the video card and monitor will do 16 bit and 1024x768, it was on the previous install, and the box dual-boots win2000, which is using that config. I noticed there are no lines for modes in the screens subsections, so I added one to the 16bit subsection, it only breaks X again. I've included the XFree86Config at the bottom of this message. Hopefully someone will be able to help me here. :) Regards, Chip W -- XFree86Config -- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" Load "dri" Load "extmod" Load "glx" Load "pex5" Load "record" Load "xie" Load "xtrap" Load "speedo" Load "type1" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName"Monitor Model" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False", ### : "String", : " Hz/kHz/MHz" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "ShadowFB" # [] #Option "VGAClocks" # [] Identifier "Card0" Driver "vga" VendorName "SiS" BoardName "630" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Depth 1 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 4 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
what's up with /var/empty?
I just finished installing 4.7 and want to move /var to /usr/var and symlink it, but there is an empty subdirectory called empty (/var/empty). It is not going away when I try to delete the /var directory after moving it to /usr/var. It has permissions like this: dr-xr-xr-x root wheel Seems like I had to do something about a sticky bit, but don't recall and can't find anything in the list archives about this.

natd not allowing incoming ftp connections, but web is okay
I have a server set up to run both web server and ftp server. The web server is working great, internet connect to it just fine. The ftpd server is running, it works great on the intranet, but from the internet connections are not allowed - according to wsftp the message is connection refused I have a dsl connection, and use an old 28.8 modem occasionally to test this stuff. When I try to connect, as anonymous, to the outside ip address that's when I get the refused error, when I connect to the inside ip address I connect fine.

4.7 installed but mouse refused to work in X
I just got 4.7 installed and running, got XFCE installed but I cannot get my doggone serial mouse to work in X. I have tried a couple differant mice, same results. If I enable the moused daemon the pointer will jiggle around a bit in X in the upper left corner, but not actually be useable. I have tried just about every configuration possibility in XF86Config (from sysinstall) but it just refuses to work. I tried both a Logitech 3 button serial and a Mitsumi two button serial. Any suggestions? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
A problem with printing from NT to FBSD
I have a fbsd-4.5 box acting as a print server for some NT servers and one
NT workstation. I am having
problems printing. I was able to print one page after a reboot, then the
subsequent pages all failed. On the
NT boxes in the printer window when a job fails it shows
Printing - printer busy or error
I check the queue on the fbsd box with lpc stat all and it is empty, and
the printer and queue are enabled
and ready.
I got this message on the console after trying a print job of just one
page -
lpd[688]: lp: readfile: error on open(tfA101cwiegand.simdom): file exists
The tail of lpd-errs looks like this -
Oct 10 14:39:29 cwiegand2 lpd[1171]: lp: unable to open dfA390SIMRAD_0

Here's my printcap -
lp|hp|952C|HP952C:\
:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:
Here's the if-simple file -
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033&k2G" && cat && printf "\033&l0H" && exit 0
exit 2
I hope someone can help with this (I'd hate to have to move the printer to
the
NT workstation).
Regards,

is it possible to move print jobs?
I have a printer connected to my fbsd box, and another connected to a winblows box. the fbsd printer has crapped out on me and has 9 print jobs waiting in the queue. is it possible to move those jobs from printer queue lp to printer queue eps?

printing question
I have a HP952C printer connected via parallel cable to my FreeBSD box, and it works great. I also have 6 NT servers which print to that printer. They all print to it fine, up to around 7 pages or so, then the print jobs just go off to nowhere-land. I am trying to print a 17 page .xls document but can only get it to print by splitting it into two print jobs. Any ideas why this is? I can send printcap if necessary. -- Chip Wiegand Computer Services Simrad, Inc www.simradusa.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." --Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 (They why do I have 9?
