Message-Id: <20021025005639.507fd4a1.bryanc2000@insightbb.com> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.8.5 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd4.6.2) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG heres the deal. I have been using FreeBSD 4.6.2 for about a month or so. I have used Linux for about 6 months now. I am very comfortable with FreeBSD and wish to continue to use BSD. I have a very serious problem. First I will tell you what I do from the beginning and what changes I make. Install FreeBSD 4.6.2 - Everything goes fine Configure X - Everything goes fine Update ports - Everything goes fine Install Fluxbox - Everything goes fine startx - Everything goes fine Install sylpheed,xchat,gaim,aterm, and a few other things - Everything goes fine I then add the following to /etc/rc.conf firewall_enable="YES" firewall_quiet="YES" firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" firewall_type="/etc/ipfw.acl" I add the following to /etc/ipfw.acl add 1000 allow ip from any to any I add the following to my kernel options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 and for sound support i add device pcm # Sound Support After all these changes are made I do reboot. After i reboot I use the computer for a couple hours then NOTHING happens. I can't get on the internet, no webpages will load, can't send e-mail, cant receive e-mails. I don't know whats going on here. I am comfortable with Unix but I am new in ways so if you have any ideas please explain them to me. Please do not say do this. Please tell me how to do this and do that. I am waiting on your e-mails right now.. I sent the same e-mail ealier in Windows cause I couldnt get online so I am sending it again incase for some reason no one got it. I just got doing a fresh install. I'm waiting.
