what are you sposed to set your gateway and nameserver to for the vps? i thought i used to have it working with both as the gateway detected but im only able to ping that IP.. not resolve any names or ping any other ip's lister_: for gateway c.f. http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/example-etcnetworkinterfaces-for-debian-and-ubuntu lister_: http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/main/dns-servers seems to me my connection is blocked i did have missed payment recently but nothing to say it's still outstanding everything is set up right ;/ and i can't do anything but ping my gateway better lodge a ticket... lister_: your ip information (gateway included) is listed in your customer portal hi guys i have a question, i use openbsd in vps but i like slackware linux also which use? whichever one you prefer both i like bsd for the features but is slowly djmd, freebsd, best of both worlds :) actually you use on vps, desktop, server? djmd: Arp let you load whever you like. You're not restricted on what they have on their order page. yes i know djmd: Use whatever you know how to maintain. I like to use CentOS/Scientific Linux on my servers, occasionally Debian when I need to be really memory conscious. I use Fedora and Arch on my desktops. obsd on servers, desktops, laptops, and soon, car what you like of obsd gamarco? it makes the most sense. documentation I've dabbled in FreeBSD. It's OK but at then end of the day I rather just use Linux. I though the FreeBSD documentation was pretty good. linux scares me gamarco: you don't know how to use it then. let me rephrase that the concept of chkconfig, scares me Well that's not Linux, that's distro related. my os can totally beat up your os If you like OpenBSD stick with it. Otherwise, try FreeBSD. You can switch later. Arch Linux doesn't use chkconfig. i use linux but at the end of the day back to obsd Eh. Not saying that OBSD is bad. Use whatever you can configure. i also like networking done by way of hostname.if(5) gamarco: Fedora uses a new alternate interface naming scheme. are you tested smp in obsd? i don't have any particular need for it djmd, but it works not as well as fbsd or linux tho any staff here? i'm still waiting on a response to my ticket, i just reinstalled with correct network info but seems my connection is blocked off at the gateway i saw some parts obsd code, for example mem, i don`t find documentation regarding region memory lister_: ping up_the_irons
