>Description:
i was attempting to add a rule to ipfw to count syn packets coming in
ipfw add 01000 count tcp from any to me setup (i also tried to any)
when i would try to connect to the box from another machine i would always get this:
extort at fate extort $ ssh avalanche
ssh: connect to host avalanche port 22: Network is unreachable

now the counter would count connection tries correctly, just not allow me to connect.  as soon as i remove the rule i can ssh perfectly fine.

src-all was cvsup'd within 1 day of being compiled.  If you need to see the kernel config and/or rc.conf or any other settings i have set, please feel free to email me.
>How-To-Repeat:
ipfw add # count tcp to any from [any|me]
