Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have been tracking stable for some time now thru the recent release at home, and decided to go ahead and cvsup our network server at work. Big mistake. We run ppp with -auto and -alias to allow web browsing and such. Here's my trouble log: 2.2.2-RELEASE binaries and kernel: Everything worked a-ok. 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel, 2.2.5-STABLE binaries (before reboot): SMB clients couldn't find the server (and the server can't even find itself, with smbclient) if ppp was running but not dialed in. If ppp was not running, or it was dialed in, no problem. 2.2.5-STABLE binaries and kernel: Also can't find the server; this time regardless of whether or not ppp was running, only worked if ppp was dialed in. I checked netstat -r to make sure we did indeed have a broadcast route; yep, we do. Other than that, the only non-standard part of our setup is one single static route to a satellite box, but that never should get in the way (right?) It didn't before, in any event. I'm going to recompile Samba to 1.9.17p4 as a last resort and cross my fingers... (presently running 1.9.17p3 compiled on the 2.2.2-RELEASE system, but that shouldn't make a difference, right?)
