Re: How do you patch a driver?
Thanks Chuck, Add: options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD options IPFIREWALL_DIVERT ...to your kernel config file. This is mostly documented here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the IPFIREWALL_FORWARD was not mentioned in the link you gave me (which I visited prior). Otherwise I wouldn't have lost 2 nights working on this. But that's over now. I'm working on another stumbling block on ipfw. Also note that ipfw forwarding alone may not do what you expect, unless you make special efforts on the machine being forwarded to, to recognize the additional IP addresses. You might find using the redirect_host or redirect_port directives to natd more appropriate for your purposes. Thanks for your concern. For my purposes, it's only a gateway. The NAT router is further down the road. Appreciate the tip anyway. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: How do you patch a driver?
Foo Ji-Haw sat at his 'puter and typed on 10/3/2005 10:03: Hello Subhro, Thanks for your help. From the link I have the following files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz (2k) ata-mk3m.diff-releng5.gz (2k) ata-mk3m.tar.gz (100k) ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz (113k) ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz (2k) Which file should I be using? Is 'current' better than 'releng5'? Do I also need to download a pair of files: ata-mk3m.diff-current.gz with ata-mk3m.tar.gz? Sorry, but I am quite confused with kernal patching. Recompiling yes, but never patched in my life. - Original Message - From: Subhro [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Foo Ji-Haw [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 11:53 AM Subject: Re: How do you patch a driver?

Re: How do you patch a driver?
Thanks for the tip. Will take a look at it. I know that OE6 is a bit dated, but I use IMAP heavily, and Thunderbird likes to hang when it fails to get a connection with the IMAP server, and I can't restart the connection short of restarting the app. I have another question, which I hope you can help me with. This is quite important to me: I am trying to put set up port forwarding on my machine. So far the usual 'add allow' and 'add deny' rules work perfectly. The most important rule which bugs me is the 'add fwd' rule, which the snippet below shows: ipfw add fwd 192.168.0.4,80 tcp from 10.10.10.0 to any 80 When I try to enter this on the command line, I get the following error: ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid Argument I tried researching the web. Some mention the error only upon recompiling kernels. But I am using the standard 5.4 product release as-is. My firewall rules in rc.conf are as follows: firewall_enable=YES firewall_logging=YES I also have this line in dmesg: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding disabled, default to deny, logging disabled I see that 'rule-based forwarding' is disabled. Is this what caused the error? How can I enable it? I can't find the details on the Handbook.
