diskless# ipfw show 00100 20 1776 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 346959 94613554 allow ip from any to any 65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any which is the default 'firewall_type="OPEN"'. --- Galen Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All, > > I have recently been using windows to connect to the net with dialup.
