Operation: "ipfw on a gateway box"

[Hiram Abiff]

I followed your advice and rewrote my firewall rules.
Although, even now, there are some major difficulties.

I still, can't acces the net from my 2 other computers
via my FreeBSD firewalled gateway.
Although I set up on it to allow traffic on
ports 21, 22, 53, 8080 I can only telent to port
21, all the others report a "connection refused" error.

I can ping the FreeBSD box, but i cannot ping any outside
IP addresseses from the FreeBSD box or the other boxes on my
home LAN.

Also when FreeBSD is booting I caught some error messages that
said unknow command "setup" for some of my firewall rules.

I'm getting desperate please assist me in any way possible.

Here's my fwrules file:

>
>
> #Outside interface
> oif="tun0"
>
>
> #Inside interface
> iif="rl0"
>

> $fwcmd -f flush

"It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face
the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power,
of craven terror -- of an intense and hopeless despair.
Did he live his life again in every detail of desire,
temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment
of complete knowledge?"
