Hi, I have been working with ipfw without much success. What I am trying to do is to do a complete deny access from the outside would to our network and then specifying individual ports that are accessable. For example,
# first, disallow all external communication into the network ipfw add forwarding deny all 0.0.0.0/0 to 205.241.206/24 # allow all internal communication to the internet ipfw add forwarding accept all 205.241.206/24 to 0.0.0.0/0 # allow WWW access from the external world to a single computer ipfw add forwarding accept tcp 0.0.0.0/0 80 to 205.241.206.206/32 Also, issuing the command: ipfw list firewall just hangs the command line until I issue a ^C, at which it aborts. Therefore, I can not look at what the firewall's state is. Another side issue, what is the largest TCP port number allowable? Thank you for your time and attention. Richard A.
