You haven't posted the actual lines you use, so no-one is going to be able to figure out what might be happening. Where you currently have variable=`ifconfig interface | stuff` or whatever, put echo $variable after it and you will see if you got it right or not. From what you've said I think your stuff works fine when there is an ip address and produces some junk when there isn't and you then feed that junk to an ipfw rule which gives you the error. --Alex
