So, the cure for you.. `just happened'. Good deal.
Now I've gotten a little more info from some diagnostic commands
suggested by someone off list. I'm not sure what to make of the
output but it seems to indicate that `something' is getting through on
tht MAC.
Having done the things below:
/etc/rc.firewall is renamed to /etc/rc.firewallX and I have run
ipfw -F a So no firewall rules should be in place at all
(With nothing having been sent [to 192.168.0.4] for some time)
ipfw -a list:
65535 446 64050 allow ip from any to any
========================================
Now start a continuos ping from another machine on the lan:
ipfw -a list
65535 452 64554 allow ip from any to any
A few seconds later:
ipfw -a list
65535 462 65394 allow ip from any to any
And again:
ipfw -a list
65535 468 66043 allow ip from any to any
========================================
What does that output really mean? A few packets are being recieved?
Now a different command:
ipfw add 60000 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
Then
ipfw -a list
6000 0 0 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
6000 0 0 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
65535 476 66973 allow ip from any to any
Start a continuous ping from another machine on the lan:
ipfw -a list
6000 7 588 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
6000 7 588 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
65535 483 67561 allow ip from any to any
ipfw -a list
6000 15 1260 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
6000 15 1260 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
65535 491 68233 allow ip from any to any
ipfw -a list
6000 22 1842 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
6000 22 1842 count icmp from any to 192.168.0.4
65535 498 68821 allow ip from any to any
Looks like if means something is happening but again, I haven't an
idea what it means.
