A common mistake is to push all traffic from a bridged segment into a dummynet pipe, with the result that all the background traffi saturates your pipe and gives the symptoms you mention. To tell more i'd have to know a bit more on how you use the firewall (is this a bridge or router), your config, your pipe setting, and last not least the FreeBSD version you are using (there are known bugs with some). cheers luigi > -Trish > > __ > > Trish Lynch > FreeBSD - The Power to Serve trish@bsdunix.net > New England Area BSD Users Group trish@neabug.org > Listar Core Committee www.listar.org > List Mistress BDSM Community List Project trish@listmistress.org > MommaBear @ IRC AilleCat @ Slashdot MommaBearTrish @ AIM > http://www.advogato.com/person/AilleCat/ > --- > > "You come out at night, thats when the energy comes, > and the dark side's light, and the vampires roam. > You strut your rasta wear, and your suicide poem > and a cross from a faith, that died, before Jesus came. > You're building a mystery." > -Sarah McLachlan, "Building a Mystery" > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
