Hi Chuck, This is what I get: # ipfw -a list 00100 49820 12066079 allow ip from any to any 00100 0 0 allow tcp from any to any 65535 2 96 deny ip from any to any The Second and Third lines don't seem right.. What do I need to do correct the problem here. The Firewall Type is set to OPEN - doesn't that mean that it would not really matter how the firewall issetup. (btw, please excuse my overt ignorance.) I had it set to SIMPLE before and made some changes to the firewall file but it was not working so I just set it at OPEN and was able to access the internet. Although now this may pose a problem with this network. Please advise. I can send you a copy of my existing firewall file if needed ... Thanks as always .... freebsder wrote: > Any ideas why my FreeBSD machine is not routing these > requests and putting up a road block?

Does "ipfw -a list" show a divert rule to natd? -- -Chuck __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
