Hello,

When I recently redid my firewall, I wanted to block a strange packet from my
cablemodem, 

Deny P:2 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1 in via ed1

as you can see, the source equals the destination. When I installed the ipfw
rule below, it wouldn't match the packet:

00146  0    0 deny log ip from 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.1 via ed1

But when I change the rule to this:

00146  0    0 deny log ip from 192.168.100.1 to any via ed1

it'll match the packet and deny it correctly.

Has anyone else noticed this, or have I got this confused somehow? I'm planning
to look into it a little further, but just wondered if anyone had any ideas
offhand.


Later,
