You should at least have a rule to allow any tcp from your box to the world. Here is an fragment from my home computer's firewall rules: ... pass tcp from any to any established # allow established tcp connections pass ip from any to any frag # allow fragmented segments pass tcp from me to any setup # allow me to setup tcp connections pass udp from me to any keep-state # allow me to setup udp-connections ... This alone won't work, if you want your box to forward traffic from other hosts in your local net. Norbert
