I didn't find "IPFILTER" in either the GENERIC or NOTES kernel files, so = no, I didn't compile it in. I was wondering about it, though, based on = older kernel help messages I found on the net (> 10 years old). =20 I'll give both of those options a try. Thanks! =20 - Michael ________________________________ From: Odhiambo Washington [mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com] Sent: Fri 1/23/2009 6:39 AM To: Michael VanLoon Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Dumb ipnat question On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 2:43 AM, Michael VanLoon = <michaelv@noncomposmentis.net> wrote: I have built a simple 7.1 system in a VM.
