Hi,

I am using IPFW on FreeBSD 4.11

I am facing two problems:
- SSH sessions timeout after a while
- When I run "/sbin/ipfw -q -f flush" in the rules script all connection
get reset (and I am thrown out of the box).

Is this standard functioning of ipfw or do I need to change any
configuration?


Thanks,

Siddhartha
