Hi guys!

Here is the contents of my supfile:

==========================
*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup.au.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress

ports-multmedia
=========================

When I run the below command, as root:

# cvsup supfile /home/hubris/cvsuptest/

I get the below error message:

Cannot get IP address of my own host -- is its hostname correct?

Why am I getting this? I am using the correct servers listed in
the FreeBSD handbook. I am trying to update my multimediate ports
collection.

I am using FreeBSD 4.10.

Thanks in advance!

Buck

I believe your problem is with the fact your running your system with an
unresolvable host name, hence the 'Cannot get IP address of my own host'
(your host) you eiether need to change your box's hostname to
something resolvable or double check your entrys in /etc/hosts

From the FreeBSD handbook:

In case you want to be able to connect to the Internet, you need
# real official assigned numbers. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not try
# to invent your own network numbers but instead get one from your
# network provider (if any) or from the Internet Registry (ftp to
# rs.internic.net, directory `/templates').


I have dialup, so my ISP has not assigned me an IP address. And I can see
no '/templates' directory at rs.internic.net. What IP address am I to use
if I can't invent my own numbers?

Any advice would be appreciated!

The following From the post titled Arr...trying to work the following
named error, reply from jpd (on the Freebsd.misc list)

"ObNitPick: The block you're talking about is 172.16/12, that is,
172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255. Anything 172.0-15.x.x and
172.32-255.x.x is valid public internet space. Lots of it is in use,
too. (Another fine case where precision seems to obfuscate the issue but
in fact, if you're not precise, things can get damaged.)"

Thus the not allocated block is from 172.16.0.0 through to 172.31.255.255

Later

Yes, this suggestion worked! No tinkering required with /etc/hosts! I have
no
idea why this works, because it's just the non-GUI option. Thanks!
