It will not stop coming in. I can see the counter increases in the accounting records for this rule so I know the firewall is letting it in and responding with the correct response. Why an I getting these messages even though it's allowed in ipfw rules? -----Original Message----- From: Erin Fortenberry [mailto:efortenb@sdccd.cc.ca.us] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 11:35 AM To: 'Joe & Fhe Barbish'; FBSD Questions Subject: RE: IPFW & unwanted console messages What was the last message?
