Hey Everyone,
I've been playing around with VNC here to remote control a
Windows box. It works pretty well but I once lost
communications to it. I tried to restore communications
to it but that failed.
I then ran a "/sbin/ipfwadm -l -M" and saw (3) MASQed connections
from the Windows box back to the VNC viewer (one for the
original link and two others for re-connection attempts). I
think that if I could EXPIRE the MASQ entries, things would
work.
I tried resetting the MASQ timers via IPFWADM but that seems to
only work on NEW connections and not the existing ones. So I
thought I might be able to change this via /proc much the way
you can turn on IP forwarding. Unfortunately, the ip_masquerade
file is READ ONLY.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to enable a manual reset or KILL of
all Masq table entries?
