Hi All, I can't seem to find a reason for this.. but if I graph the values of fxp0 using netstat -bin, like this: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Ibytes Opkts Oerrs Obytes Coll fxp0 1500 <Link#1> 00:02:b3:bc:12:7c 3417242 0 232992484 3997590 0 764014344 0 and IPFW-2 rules like this (I also tried ipfw 1, and ipf): 00100 388827 18466235 count ip from any to any in via fxp0 00101 454678 80243192 count ip from any to any out via fxp0 both with the same version of MRTG, the netstat version matches what my ISP tells me I am using, but the one using ipfw values is always 50 - 200 kbits/sec off. Does anyone know why? I am stumped :( I have tried using both ipfw 1, and ipfw 2 (counting only layer 3, and only layer 2, and both types (which was way off) of packets).. and I have been unable to solve the problem :( Please let me know if you have any ideas :) Thanks in advance :) Dale. -------------------------------- Dale Corse System Administrator Wolfpaw Services Inc. http://www.wolfpaw.net (780) 474-4095 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
