Dear all, I've recently moved from FreeBSD 4.8 to 5.3. After the upgrade, I found that my computer doesn't accept outside connections anymore. The problem is: I can't connect to my computer through different services (FTP, Telnet, SSH, etc.) and also, I can't redirect X output to my display. I've verified that the corresponding daemons are running and that all the steps to X redirection are done, but nothing happens. I'm not using a firewall. Looking deeply into the problem, I've found that also my computer doesn't reply to ping request. But changing the kernel variable 'net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho' it started to work. There is something I have to change to accept connections that I didn't notice? I think that this problem is related to security reasons, but I didn't find how to open a little bit my computer. Summarizing: from my computer, I can connect to any other machine, but I can't do the opposite connections. I hope someone could help me. Thanks in advance, -- M@X
