They are standard services like httpd, pop+imap+smpt+ssl, sftp, dns, etc. However my setup is a little odd. It is as followed ... Internet/Out side world --> Cisco Router (NAT being done here) --> cisco swtich --> bridge --> servers I'm am still unsure of if I should or shouldn't allow for arp packets. And if I do have to enable the "IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" will whatever other ipfw rules I use still work?? thank you very much for any info you might enlighten me with Sunny Dubey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
