Ok. Finally it starts to get better. Here is what I did: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # pppd call dsl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ifconfig sppp0 modlist 0 ip 1 sppp [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # pkill -x pppd [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # autopush -f /etc/ipf/pfil.ap autopush: ERROR: File /etc/ipf/pfil.ap: could not configure autopush for line 22 autopush: ERROR: Major/minor already configured Line 22 happens to be my sfe device entry, line 23 is sppp. If I repeat this step it gives me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # autopush -f /etc/ipf/pfil.ap autopush: ERROR: File /etc/ipf/pfil.ap: could not configure autopush for line 22 autopush: ERROR: Major/minor already configured autopush: ERROR: File /etc/ipf/pfil.ap: could not configure autopush for line 23 autopush: ERROR: Major/minor already configured So I would say the it configures sppp when first called and guess what, if I reconnect pfil shows up in the module list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # pppd call dsl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ifconfig sppp0 modlist 0 ip 1 pfil 2 sppp And even better the filtering works now!!! :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ipfstat -hio 0 block out all 0 block in all [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ping www.google.com ^C [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ # ipfstat -hio 1 block out all 0 block in all I then rebooted and repeated the procedure and it seems as if I would have to manually invoke autopush everytime. But at least the filtering works. I can't believe it! Now I wonder why do I have to call autopush manually? But anyway thank you (and everyone else participating in this thread) very very much for the time and patience! I am very grateful for your support. Kind regards, Albert
