Hello; (First off, i'm hoping i have this put down where it makes sense) I've been having a problem with starting X from the command line with "startx" without my firewall being up. How I start the firewall is with " ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules" This is a fresh install of FreeBSD-4.2 with a fresh install of XFree86-4.1 and KDE2 from the ports. I've not ever had this problem before so I'm hoping someone here can help me out with it. uname: FreeBSD thecafe.ca 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Jun 20 19:25:29 EDT 2001 root@thecafe.ca:/usr/src/sys/compile/FREEBSD i386 also in my .xserverrc i have -nolisten tcp, now after starting my firewall rules X start's up no problem. Not knowing what was happening i decided to do a tcpdump on my ed0 to see if i might see why this is happening. By the way i use pppoe for my net connection. I used this for tcpdump: tcpdump -s 1518 -i ed0 -w tcpdump, following this article from Dru Lavigne: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/03/21/FreeBSD_Basics.html Now with the dump ( below) i believe i have found why X will not start, but I am unable to figure out exactly what is going on with what is in the dump, so this i am hoping someone can help out with. 17:16:22.991972 PPPoE [ses 0x25c0] LCP EchoReq id=0x7 magic=0xaea5eed5 17:16:22.992265 PPPoE [ses 0x25c0] LCP EchoRep id=0x7 magic=0x4fd52462 17:16:25.309265 PPPoE [ses 0x25c0] H12.C193.tor.velocet.net.1174 > cutlass.velocet.net.domain: 1591+ A? thecafe.ca.

NOTE: I do not get anything above when I start ppp or my firewall while in console mode, it only comes up when i startx itself. Also, I have been getting lockup's with X KDE and netscape while surfing since yesturday and when doing a dump on the console this perticular host name is all through the dump itself. ( not really sure iof that pertains to this or not) Can someone possibly figure out what is actually happening here? If there is something else that is required from my end I'm more than willing to give it a shot.
