[Using FBSD 2.2.7, I think] I feel this is taking me into unchartered waters.... I gather that I might have to set up ipfw, then natd. I think the reply at the bottom also indicates an upgrade of ppp.....isn't life fun! OK (draws breath), I'm about to embark on setting up ipfw, and I've never rebuilt the kernal before. I want to do a series of small steps which leave the machine running at each step. A few quick questions.... 1. If I enable ipfw in the kernal, but don't set ipfw_enabled in rc.conf, will my system still work as is, or do I have to go the whole hog? 2. Am I correct in assuming that in rc.firewall, my external interface is tun0 when using ppp? 3. In rc.firewall, my external IP is going to be a dynamic address. Now I currently use userland ppp to connect. Can I enable the firewall after connecting with PPP or should I use kernal based ppp? In other words how do I get rc.firewall to be configured on a dynamic IP? 4. Any hints/tips beyond that of the manuals? Appologies if these are silly questions! Any help pointers appreciated...
