Hi guys I am rebuilding my firewall / nat router to share my internet connection accross my LAN. I have 3 network cards, one (nl0) connects to the internet and is secured and nated. the other two (de0 and de1) I run bridged so I can simplify the process of playing some games without the need to educate my housemates about routers etc. and broadcasting will work effectivly. (we play some old games :-) I have this working but for some reason IPX packets don't get bridged. I need to use IPX to support some really old games. Has anyone tried this sort of setup, I presume the IPFIREWALL code is dropping the IPX packets as they don't match any rules... If I set the firewall to default allow (something I don't really want to do) then set something like, deny ip from all to all will this then make the machine secure enough (it is on a DSL connection) but allow IPX through the bridge? Also does anyone have experience running a default allow firewall and have any suggestions how to secure it? Many thanks, Gary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
