Thanks a lot for your Help, Right now the system is not accessible as I have set something wrong in ipfw.:-(( I was basically working with ipchains., But I have one more question if you can answer.? I have applied the patch in BSD for GRE. I have copied the file in the /usr/src/sys/netinet/gre.c and then applied the patch to kernel. which I got from http://www.squid-cache.org/WCCP-support/FreeBSD-4.x/ everything goes fine but after reboot I can not find any gre interface like ed0. In Linux the simple way after applying the patch is /sbin/ifconfig gre0 ipaddress netmask address up . My point is that after recompiling the kernel I can not find any gre interface in /sbin/ifconfig and i do admit that I can not find any gre option in GENERIC. So can I get any help .??
