Now, that seems a little weird. Do you not have a hub or switch
other than the BSD box on this network? Unless you're doing
some strange routing or something, everybody on the wire
ought to see everybody else regardless of the settings on the
firewall (except they maybe won't see *it* ...)
DSL Modem <> BSD Box <> HUB <> All win boxes
Everyone does see each other. I just don't want the win boxes to
see the internet; but I -do- want them to continue to see each other.
Giorgios' ipfw rules (last post in thread) take care of this well.
I suppose I was just confused; even if you told the BSD box to
block all traffic on the internal interface, the Winboxen would
still be able to communicate. Probably I misread or misinterpreted
your paragraph.
Hope all's well now.
