Well I have read and read, searched and searched but I guess it's time to
consult the experts :)
please reply to me directly for I am not subscribed to this group.

Here is the dillema:  I have set up a firewall/router and have recompiled
the kernel for ipfw and natd.
Here is my current setup:

=> cable modem => ep1(external nic 24.109.xxx.xxx)
                                **router/firewall**
                                ep0(internal nic192.168.xxx.xxx)
                                <=> HUB
                                <=> 192.168.xxx.xxx Computer(Win ME)
                                <=> 192.168.xxx.xxx Laptop (Win 2000)

What I am having problems with is that on the main computer on the subnet I
am unable to use Outlook express to view newsgroups.
I can suft the web, download files, I can use napster, ICQ.  I have read the
man pages for ipfw but I'm still at a loss.

The error message I receive is:

Server cannot be found:
Configuration:
   Account: news
   Server: news
   Protocol: NNTP
   Port: 119
   Secure(SSL): 0
   Code: 800ccc0d

I added the line in the rc.firewall.current ( see below ) after the rule for
ssh (port 22) but without any
luck.
$fwcmd add allow tcp from any 119 to any 119 setup
I have looked through /etc/protocols but none are listed for NNTP......:(

I also would like to be able to let IPX thought the firewall to the outside
and let it back in.
again there is no listing for IPX in /etc/protocols :(
The same goes for acess to an ftp server that in on the main computer in the
internal subnet.
The server is on port 27015.   Again I have tried to use

add allow tcp from any 27015 to any 27015 setup
add allow ipx-in-ip from any to any setup

and again no luck.
I have also modified
# Stop spoofing of your internal network range
 $fwcmd add deny log ip from $inwr to any in via $oif

>From deny to allow in order for the internal network to be able to acess
the
outside.  Does this pose any
security issues?

Hmm sorry about the lengthy e-mail but I hope someone will help me tackle
this problem.
