Hi All, I would like to ask a question about TCP/IP networking on FreeBSD. I need to know for sure if a FreeBSD system with the following setup would send out RIP and ARP packets onto the Wan via xl0: kernel config: options inet options IPDIVERT options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT device fxp # Intel Etherexpress device miibus # mii bus for the 3Com device xl # #com 3C905 pseudo-device ether pseudo-device loop pseudo-device bpf /etc/rc.conf network_intercfaces="xl0 lo0" ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" ifcongif_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="xl0" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" gateway_enable="YES" The firewall rules were set to open because I did not yet know how to set them up. To the best of my knowledge, this syetm was not configured to be a border gateway. Why then is Mediaone claiming that is was sending out RIP and ARP packets onto their network? My landloard made me take the system down as a proxy abnd replace it with one of those little firewall boxes. He owns the cable modem. any comments?
