<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I had a custom AMP stack running
fine in a jail. <br><br>I accessed this on the local machine with
Firefox with no problems.<br><br>Then I decided to expose the server
to the internet by reconfiguring the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269404031_1">network card</span> to use a <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269404031_2">static IP</span> rather than <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269404031_3">DHCP</span> because you can't
do <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269404031_4">port forwarding</span>
in a router on a DHCP network.<br><br>I've gotten this to work fine in
the past using a Lynksys router, but now using a <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1269404031_5">Dlink</span> and port forwarding
just wouldn't work for some reason. Changing the netcard config also
made accessing the server locally MUCH slower, like 15 seconds to access
a page. I had this same problem in PCBSD 7.1.1 before - accessing the
IP with a browser on the same machine was really slow compared to
another PC from the internet. That system did not use a jail - the AMP
stack was custom installed
directly.<br><br>I set everything back to the way it was but it had no
effect so I did a complete system upgrade. Now I cannot access the
server at all - no response.<br><br>I can ping the jail's IP no problem
however.<br><br>I made no changes to the firewall which enabled the same
exceptions as before for HTTP.<br><br>Also, after the upgrade from the
DVD, the Warden would not run. Got an error stating that the program
information could not be found, or something like that. So I
reinstalled it and here I am, stuck. Had the same scenario when I
upgraded from 7.1.1 to 8 a few weeks ago. Reimported the jail and still
not working.<br><br>I believe this has nothing to do with the router as
the jail's IP is local, right?<br><br>Why did changing the net settings
block the jail, even after resetting them? What would cause the server
to slow down in response so much,
before?<br><br>EDIT:<br>Just noticed when PC boots up and reports starting jail - syslogd shows error
message: BIND can't assign requested address.<br>
<br>
What caused this
and how do I fix it?<br><br>...Jeff</td></tr></table><br>
