Did you add the subsiquent rule of:
	ipfw add allow tcp from my-net to any setup keep-state

When I was looking up information on stateful rules it was suggested to use:
	ipfw add aloow tcp from my-net t- any out keep-state

Hope this helps,
--Chris

Subject: stateful firewall rule



Dear all,

I just installed stateful rules in my FreeBSD as
firewall. I can telnet to hosts outside but the
connection will abort shortly. There are 2 lines in my
rule which suggested in manual page.

2000 check-state
2001 deny log tcp from any to any established

According to the following log entry:
/kernel: ipfw: 2001 Deny TCP me:1204 remote:23 out

I thought the firewall will recognize this session and
keep for me. Why the rule 2001 block my connection?

Thanks for your help,

Vincent Chen
