I have a FreeBSD host on the internet full-time (apriori.net) with appropriate firewall daemons running, but it fails to allow some traffic generated by other machines (admittedly Windows-based) on my local network to traverse between the local net and the remote host. I seem to have few options: Wait for FreeBSD to deploy ipchains; Insert a Linux host between my host and the internet running ipchains and disable some of the firewall services on the FreeBSD host; Give up trying to pass this sort of traffic altogether. While I have posted a query on FreeBSD Ports and Gnats regarding ipchains, I have received no reply. Are there any plans to port the Linux ipchains to FreeBSD? cheers - -- Philip. philip zimmermann paz@apriori.net www.apriori.net ayer, ma usa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
