"No route to host" when trying to connect to FTP server on the Internet
Hi, I'm trying to connect to my friend's FTP server but I'm getting a "No route to host" when trying from my NAT workstation. It works just fine when I connect from my NAT server though. Internet -> NAT server (192.168.187.1) -> NAT workstation (192.168.187.2) I've been suggested ftp-proxy. It didn't work though. You can see my setup and hopefully other relevant info here: http://pastie.org/453644 Thanks! -- http://www.home.no/reddvinylene ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

In fact, it's been working for years. It's just this one FTP server that it won't connect to. -- http://www.home.no/reddvinylene ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Then it could be a legitimate error being returned by a remote router, also. traceroute/mtr to the problematic host could be helpful -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It's just this one FTP server that it won't connect to. For awhile I had been dealing with a sort similar issuesee here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=890 There where other issues with it as well but that was the most reproducible. Also sshd didn't work to same remote host either. I recently upgraded the server from 6.2 -> 7.1 including updated ports rebuild. That fixed every nagging issue with the system including nat/routing stuff. My best guess is there was some issues w/ pf in 6.2 as no config files for application got changed including fw rules yet now it works. -- Adam Vandemore Systems Administrator IMED Mobility (605) 498-1610 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Many thanks! The canonical method would be to set up split DNS, or even just add an /etc/hosts entry with the hostname listing the LAN IP rather than an external IP. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
