Hi there,  I've got a little problem that I hope someone could help me with.
I'm running 3.3-Stable with ipfw running along with natd, two NIC cards one
to the outside world and the other connecting to a hub with a windows98 and
a SCO UnixWare 7 box.  Firewall type is set to open for right now.  The
problem I'm having is as soon as I started running ipfw I noticed a HUGH
amount of netbios udp packets being broadcast out to port 137 and 138 on
subnet  24.6.241.255 (for example there are a couple of other segments I
seem to be broadcasting to.)
I thought possibly I had some windows networking stuff turned on but I don't
have anything installed on the FreeBSD box that uses netbios, I have ports
136-139 turned off in services and inetd.conf.  If I disconnect my internal
network and reboot FreeBSD it still sends the packets.  I tried setting up
packet filtering rules to kill out going packet to ports 136-139 but I'm not
getting the syntax right or something.  The ipfw man page is not quite
helpful enough, I can't find much about ipfw in the handbook and the FAQ was
less than helpful.

Where can I find some good documentation on using ipfw or could some kind
soul help me with the syntax to kill packets going out to certain ports?
BTW I've tried to just deny all netbios packets but that seems to kill natd.
I don't know help....:)
