Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 5.3 Stable, installed from an iso on one of the dutch ftp mirrors. Everything works fine, installation went as expected. After a while I wanted some simple traffic shaping, and since the machine I wanted that for isn't the fastest, I chose to use ipfw with dummynet. From what I read that was not very resource-intensive.
I recompiled the kernel, copied the GENERIC and added the following options: options IPFIREWALL #ipfw options DUMMYNET #dummynet options HZ=1000 #strongly recommended I looked into both the ipfw and dummynet manpages, and I under- stood this would be all that was needed. The compiling went fine, ipfw works, dummynet doesn't. I can add pipes, but configurating bandwith (or actually, just "ipfw pipe 1 config" is enough), gives me the following error: ipfw: setsockopt(IP_DUMMYNET_CONFIGURE): Protocol not available I tried the usual, looking into the handbook, faq, and searching newsgroups and the web. Everything there tells me that DUMMYNET isn't in my kernel options. I checked numerous times, and it is really there. Is there any way I could check if it really compiled? I vaguely remember something containing the word dummynet flashing by while compiling. Any advice is appreciated, Lucas _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
