Hi, When I add firewall options in my new kernel, nothing can go out or in. Someone told me its initialization was deny everything, but when I add or del firewall with ipfw command in "netstart" with booting up, get the same result. Some detail results are:
Can not bind name server.
Can not ping through the host lists in /etc/hosts, even localhost. giving the following result: Sendto: Permission denied.

Need your help!
Best regards!
