Thanks All In the end I build a new box with freebsd V5 and then built the kernel on that box, copied it to my main box and installed it all worked ok.
But now have another Q when I tried to insert rule as per the IP Filter HOWTO Manual i.e.: pass out quick proto udp from any to any port 33434><33690 keep state I get this error nebula:root % ipf -Fa -f /etc/ipf.rules 33: unknown port "33434><33690" below is my ipf.rules file now ,this computer is already inside a firewall and only is for web and radius block in log all pass out quick proto icmp from any to any icmp-type 8 keep state # Allow all ssh traffic pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 22 flags S keep state # httpd pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 80 flags S keep state # httpsd pass in quick proto tcp from any to any port = 443 flags S keep state # Radius pass in quick proto udp from any to any port = 1645 keep state pass in quick proto udp from any to any port = 1646 keep state pass in quick proto udp from any to any port = 1812 keep state pass in quick proto udp from any to any port = 1813 keep state pass out quick proto tcp from any to any flags S keep state # Allow NTP for Network Time and Traceroute pass out quick proto udp from any to any keep state block in quick all block out quick all
