Rick: welcome to #arpnetworks :)
i'm around if u have questions
thanks :)
so I've been evaluating bsdvm vs arpnetworks.
<-- satisfied arpnetworks customer
<-- disgruntled bsdvm customer
after talking them into getting console via vnc from vmware
I finally was about to re-install the system
when I realized .. they gave me a private IPv4 IP and are NAT'ing my vm
maybe they dedicated an IP for me, but still, ewww.
ick
i always wondered if anyone used bsdvm... ;)
no v6, more mem here, the only thing they offer is unlimited v4 bandwidth, but ..
their site is kinda funny lookin
like, hard to read; maybe my fonts just suck
up_the_irons: well, someone here I believe said they were evalulating them so I went on a spree of finding vm providers .. I think this month of evaluation clearly tells me you've earned my business and they have grossed me out
plus they insist they can hit the vmware console web thingey from linux, sure I can from openbsd too, but the vga console does not display
very glad you're happy here :)
due to a plugin that is well known to any vmware user to require windows to work for the vga console via web thing
toddf: also, I appreciate very much the guidance you've given me regarding conserver, packagin, openbsd, etc...  The serial-over-IP feature would not have been nearly this far along if it wasn't for you :)
toddf: lol, you need an IE plugin for vga over web?
I do indeed
well that's retarded
well windows anyway, firefox or ie are supposedly retarted
s/retarted/supported/
braino
lets just say that before evaluating arpnetworks vs bsdvm I was pleased to note arpnetworks is wholly based on open source, vmware of course is not..
yup
i'm done, DONE, with proprietary solutions
i've learned my lesson long ago
with <gasp> Virtuozzo and <BIG GASP> HSPComplete
i was so happy when i retired those servers...
avs: welcome to #arpnetworks, you look new
Bind 96 or one of the older ones?
hey up_the_irons :p
nuke^: hey
i think something missing on the upv6 thing, i think i have to do the same thing i did to ipv4 to get rdns done
any ideia how the command would be so i dont mess up again lol
nuke^: what are you trying to do
i pointed the ipv6 adress to a domain, but it doesnt resolve to that domain here on irc, just appears the ipv6 ip
nuke^: what IP?
for example 2607:f2f8:3100:0:0:0:0:7
it's resolving fine for me
coding.csharp here
yah same here, but when connectiing to irc
Cannot connect to IRC (Cannot assign requested address (Is your IRC server's host name and vhost valid?)). Retrying...
nuke^: do you actually have that IP assigned to an interface?
if not, that's your problem
the ipv6 one?
yeah
hm then prolly is that why only the ::2 works
it was already assigned
i mean, if you want to connect to it, you have to have it bound to an interface; just like any IP
your VPS comes with 1 IP bound (::2), the rest are your responsibility :)
its the same way than the ipv4?
sudo ip address add x.x.x.x dev eth0 <- ?
nuke^: pretty much; you might have to do "ip -6 address ...", the -6 makes it parse an IPv6 address; not sure if that is actually required
ok gonna google it
another thing, i tried the vnc connection
any vnc program workd for that?
or i need to use anything specific
only vnc i ever used its the one to connect to my home pc
nuke^: i got a report of a problem with 1 particular vnc app, but i forgot which one it was
i tried with uvnc but didnt work keep telling wrong password
i tried the one by default on the mail and my root one but didnt work
success
nice
up_the_irons: I've moved by web server over and am ready to fire up my DNS... how about that rDNS delegation? ;)
baklava: for how many IPs?
.162-.166
baklava: send an email to support@arpnetworks.com with your IP block and the name servers to which you want the rdns delegated.  IPv6 will be delegated as well.
okay no problem. I'm not using IPv6 though
