 I've grown quite accustomed to using ipfw and natd and would prefer to
 use it over ppp -nat and it's filtering rules..

Yes, that should work fine.  The filtering in ppp(8) is, if I recall,
implemented with the same libraries as ipfw, so the functionality is
similar.  The syntax is different, but not *very* different...

nat + ipfw + adsl

2002-10-21 Thread Andrew Thomson
I'm out of my house and into a flat now.. so I don't have access to
cable anymore.. bit of a dud.. I'm onto the next best thing being adsl.

I read one doco about what I want to do but thought I'd just throw it
out here as well..

Basically I've already got a nice little firewall running the cable
modem, with a nice tight little rule set.

No worries?
