I've run into something related now. Using sockstat I figured out that my back tier's listening socket was a tcp6 socket. I'm able to connect to the socket when running another process on the same machine. But if I try to connect using an Ubuntu machine, I get connection refused. I guess it doesn't have IPv6 enabled. From what I could tell, there's more interest in figuring out how to disable IPV6 than enable it. And nginx on my PCBSD machine has a tcp4 listening socket. So I figured out how to make my back tier get a tcp4 socket, but I haven't figured out how to make the middle tier running on the same machine get connected to it. Now it gets connection refused. :( But the middle tier on the Ubuntu machine works fine now. I still have the problem with booting PCBSD on another machine. I couldn't find anything in the bios to disable wireless. That machine is one of my better machines, so am kind of hobbling along with BSD. The problem I described at the start of this thread was so serious that I only found relief with BSD, but BSD is no picnic. I heard U2's "I Still haven't found what I'm looking for" at a gas station the other day. I laughed. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises - 'The fool has said in his heart, “There is no G-d.”' Psalms 14:1 http://webEbenezer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
