Hello, I have a FreeBSD VPS that has /29. I have already added the IP address on its interface but there are 2 IP's which I can't ping. What seems to be the problem? you added *all* the IP addresses? or just the first one if you don't add (alias) the others, it'll respond only to the one you added. I added an alias for the others ifconfig_em0_alias0 ifconfig_em0_alias1 and so on Ahh. I did it the easier way. :) ... ipv4_addrs_em0=208.79.95.2-14/28 that assigns 2 through 14 to em0 no need for all those extra ifconfig from the 5 IP's 3 works, 2 which I can't ping you'll have a similar range you've rebooted since setting it up? and you didn't accidentally pick the network or broadcast adddr? yes I've rebooting the machine like for me, .0 is network, .1 is router, .15 is broadcast so I get only 2-14 tried* same as /etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart try the ipv4_addrs_em0 method. It's far easier to read ok thanks once I discovered that, I ripped out a bunch of messy lines you still need defaultrouter= and maybe gateway_enable=YES but those three lines suffice. yours of course would be N.N.N.X-Y/29 where X is your base +2, and Y is your base +6 you might also verify that you don't have an overly ambitious filrewall somewhere it works now thanks alot cool! no problem are you new to ARP? I only added ipv4_addrs_em0= I've been here for 16 months Yep you removed the alias lines too, right? not needed. I didn't add gateway_enable=YES I commented it I have gateway_enable because I have openvpn so I have to route from my VLAN to my main public IP and also my jails when I was experimenting with that nice I have openvpn before but it messed up my settings which eventually living me to reset back factory defaults I had a hard time configuring openvpn yes it requires a keen eye and a steady hand :) ok - time to break this 40 cents a minute connection (I'm on a cruise ship :) is there someone responsible for new orders available that I can pm? up_the_irons is your man balboah: i'm about to go to bed, can i help you quickly? apparently not :) anyone else getting packet loss? any vps problems? ah its back online again maris11: im getting packet loss *was getting mine was done but its back up maybe reroute:)
