Should I, do I need to disable ifpw ? if it's *really* started, you'll want to disable it. neither firewall (ipfw / ipfilter) is started by default, however. do you see anything like "Kernel firewall module loaded" during startup? if that is the case, all you need is firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf. from reading /etc/rc.network at least it looks like that should cover you. -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 3:51PM up 5 days, 21:44, 15 users, load averages: 0.09, 0.06, 0.06 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
