Ok, here's a weird one I ran into. Not sure how to fix it. Just installed a FreeBSD 4.5 "everything in one box" kind of server (aka it covers everything via one machine rather than several) for a client and for some strange reason it installed fine off the snapshots via FTP and everything was happy hunkey dorrey, until I decided to start updating things. Now I'm getting "no route to host" yet I can ping the gateway fine, and on a matching win2k box next to it I'm surfing and ftp'ing all over the place without a hitch. Now here's the catch. On their site they've got a Novell firewall/proxy server that they absolutely refuse to get rid of. All inbound and outbound traffic goes through that and for security reasons they refuse to abandon it. So I can only assume that I'm hitting the proxy and getting stopped, but if this was true, why did it work fine for the ftp install off of the floppy disks and why is it giving "no route to host" as though the gateway wasn't even connected, yet the same box, on the same hub can get to the internet fine. I swap drives and plop a win2k drive in the same machine and it routes fine. Swap drives (it has a swappable drive bay for quick exchange of operating system drives/data drives) and it's back to the "no route to host". Anyone got any ideas on this?
