Just curious.....but where is he going to run ipfw? I seriously doubt his router can run it, and what good is it going to do him to run it on a machine on the network if the network is switched? It's not going to be able to see any of the traffic other than what that specific machine is sending/receiving. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
