The ports in question are not normally even listed in /etc/services (they are game ports-one tcp/udp...5 udp...in the 21000 range) They have now been added to /etc/services but still seem to be blocked. i tried, on a crap shoot, to add them to inetd but got unknown service errors when i tried to add them as internal. I got syntax errors when i tried to add them with out a server directive. There is no application/daemon that needs to be run. They just need to be open so we can communicate with the game server. I'm running ipnat and ipfilter, which is supposedly letting the ports go through both ways, at least trafshow is listing the ports by name, not number, so /etc/services is definitely being read. Anyone got any advice? Thanks, daniel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
