Yesterday when I arrived home from work, I found that the freebsd box had rebooted. This was not a power outage as both it and an NT box share the same UPS and the NT box was unaffected. The fbsd box is used as a gateway/firewall using ipfw and natd. Since this unexplained reboot, my mini-DNS has stopped working. I can ping the outside via IP number from the freebsd box but not from the NT box. I've set my filtering rules to allow all and still can't ping the outside from the NT box. Comms within the subnet appear to be normal (apart from the mini-DNS problem). I've checked my DNS entries. They appear unchanged. I see three questions: 1 - why did the box reboot? 2 - why did the DNS stop? 3 - why can't the NT box ping out? I'll spend time over the weekend trying to figure out what happened and will review the DNS entries. But to my knowledge, nothing has changed. Advice will be welcomed. To complicate matters, I attempted to install a CD-ROM drive in the freebsd box before I noticed the above problems. But that has since been removed before a successful install was completed. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com : for race timing solutions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
