Hi all,

I am currently running ipfw from FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE on my box. The box passes 
GRE packets from the external to the internal network. We run Microsoft RDP 
over PPTP through the firewall. After upgrading to FreeBSD 5.3, we realised 
that the RDP connections never get initiated. When I did a tcpdump on the 
internal and external interfaces of the FW, I realised that there were 
fragmented GRE packets arriving at the FW, but however, these packets do not 
leave the FW. I also observed the SEQ no. in the GRE packets ingress/egress, 
and there were missing GRE packets on the egress.

My deduction was that ipfw was dropping these fragmented GRE packets, but 
however, these events were shown on syslog. How do I make ipfw log 
dropped/silently rejected packets? How to I prevent ipfw from dropping these 
packets?

Appreciate all help given,

Thank you.

J.W.
