Your ipfw is not using ANY rules except the default which is "deny all" unless you changed this in your kernel. By using Tony's lines in the rc.conf you tell it to use a set of rules in the default /etc/rc.firewall when you define a type. You can also roll your own. Try doing a man on rc.conf and searching for firewall. Also a man on ipfw and natd will be a good resource. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tony" <tony@tntpro.com> To: <nl3481@wi.rr.com>; <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:33 PM Subject: RE: IPFW rules, Internet > make sure these lines are in your /etc/rc.conf file > > gateway_enable="YES" > firewall_enable="YES" > firewall_type="open" > > as for changing it without a reboot I dont know... maybe its a syscontrol > thing?
