Saturday we had to power down everything for the PUD to shutdown our power for the day to hook up the new building next door. Sunday I powered up everything and all appeared to be fine. I even downloaded FBSD4.3 on the BSD box. Today, Monday, I am not able to connect to any address outside the router, from the BSD box only. The IIS machine has no problem. I can ping any ip address inside the network, all 3 addresses on the router, but nothing outside the router. I have samba, apache and telnet running on the BSD box, yet they will not respond from to requests from inside the network. Top shows all three are indeed running. I rebooted the BSD box, and sendmail hung on loading, it eventually allowed the boot to finish, but it also does not respond to a request to send a message. On the BSD box I can ping the inside network by ip address, not name. This leads me to think it is a DNS problem, yet the IIS box points to the same DNS and has no problem with this. I checked resolv.conf and rc.conf, they have the same settings as the IIS box. I am at a loss as to what to check next. I don't understand why whatever is preventing the access to the outside world is also preventing access to apache and samba shares from inside the network. Let me know what specific bits of info are needed to try to troubleshoot this. Reply to the address below.
