Hello, I have a quick question for you: I am in the process of setting up ipfw for my server and a small LAN of = two pcs. The FreeBSD server is used as an internet gateway with a dial up = connection (ppp -auto -alias demand). My network connection is working fine, however I am getting more and = more junk mail lately. It looks like some sites are sniffing out my e-mail address, my pc = configs, etc. Hence, I'd like to setup a firewall. I found many good examples, however they deal with a one pc (FreeBSD) = one network card setup. For ex: do I need to add "divert" and "bridge" to the Kernel config = file? How do I set up different rules for for each nic? I'd like to be able to access the FreeBSD server from my local LAN w/o = any restrictions but I do not want the internet sites to do the same = with my server and LAN. Would you have an example setup for this = scenario? The FreeBSD server is also setup to provide address resolution = for the internet. I'd appreciate any help. Gaspar
