connecting my server to comcast
Hi,

I just setup a server running centos 4 that I am going to use for a mail server. I setup NAT in my router to open up the smtp port and i assigned the server a static ip address using ifconfig. Now is there a step im missing because now i cant route out of the server or ping anything? Oh btw i also setup the gateway using ifconfig.

Thanks in advanced!

hobbitfetch

HOBBITFETCH(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    HOBBITFETCH(8)

NAME

       hobbitfetch - fetch client data from passive clients

SYNOPSIS

       hobbitfetch [--server=HOBBIT.SERVER.IP] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is used to collect data from Xymon clients.

       Normally,  Xymon clients will themselves take care of sending all of their data directly to the Xymon server. In that case, you do not need
       this utility at all. However, in some network setups clients may be prohibited from establishing a connection to an external server such as
       the  Xymon  server,  due  to  firewall  policies.  In  such a setup you can configure the client to store all of the client data locally by
       enabling the msgcache(8) utility on the client, and using hobbitfetch on the Xymon server to collect data from the clients.

       hobbitfetch will only collect data from clients that have the pulldata tag listed in the bb-hosts(5) file. The IP-address listed in the bb-
       hosts  file  must be correct, since this is the IP-address where hobbitfetch will attempt to contact the client.  If the msgcache daemon is
       running on a non-standard IP-address or portnumber, you can specify the portnumber as in pulldata=192.168.1.2:8084 for contacting the  msg-
       cache  daemon using IP 192.168.1.2 port 8084. If the IP-address is omitted, the default IP in the bb-hosts file is used. If the port number
       is omitted, the portnumber from the BBPORT setting in hobbitserver.cfg(5) is used (normally, this is port 1984).

OPTIONS

       --server=HOBBIT.SERVER.IP
	      Defines the IP address of the Xymon server where the collected client messages are forwarded to. By default, messages  are  sent	to
	      the loopback address 127.0.0.1, i.e. to a Xymon server running on the same host as hobbitfetch.

       --interval=N
	      Sets the interval (in seconds) between polls of a client. Default: 60 seconds.

       --id=N Used  when  you  have a setup with multiple Xymon servers. In that case, you must run hobbitfetch on each of the Xymon servers, with
	      hobbitfetch instance using a different value of N. This allows several Xymon servers to pick up data from the clients  running  msg-
	      cache, and msgcache can distinguish between which messages have already been forwarded to which server.
	      N is a number in the range 1-31.

       --log-interval=N
	      Limit how often hobbitfetch will log problems with fetching data from a host, in seconds. Default: 900 seconds (15 minutes). This is
	      to prevent a host that is down or where msgcache has not been started from flooding the hobbitfetch logs. Note that this is  ignored
	      when debugging is enabled.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging output.
