I now have no firewall. That is not a problem, since this machine has nothing on it (yet). > If you don't want to disable it, look for > firewall_type in /etc/rc.conf and edit the relevant lines > in /etc/rc.firewall I had a look in there and got as far as reading the warnings "If you don't know about packet filtering then you had better read these books ..." followed by a list. I know someone who has these books, and can borrow them when I am ready for it. I am still only on chapter 8 in Greg Lehey's book. Meanwhile it is probably a good idea to go on without a Firewall turned on. > If you currently have a "client" type firewall, setting the "net" and > "mask" variables in /etc/rc.firewall might do the trick, depending on > how your network is set up.
