Default Firewall problem?

I decided I would mess around.. came to a quick guide and I figured because I have no experience with BSD I would follow what someone else had done and tweak to to my needs.

http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/free..._explained.php

I came across ^ and I didn't see anything that would mess with my net so I went ahead... but I can not connect to the internet with those settings. Any ideas?

I haven't performed a thorough analysis of the rules in that guide, but one thing that quickly stands out is:
Code:
firewall_type="/etc/firewall.conf"
I believe that should be:
Code:
firewall_script="/etc/your_ruleset_file_here"
The FreeBSD Handbook has a section on IPFW: 28.6 IPFW

Be patient and read through that; you should be able to glean enough to put together a basic ruleset.

can you post the contents (and filename) of your ruleset, as well as an ipconfig output?



firewall_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable firewall functionality
firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall" # Which script to run to set up the firewall
firewall_type="UNKNOWN" # Firewall type (see /etc/rc.firewall)
firewall_quiet="NO" # Set to YES to suppress rule display
firewall_logging="NO" # Set to YES to enable events logging
firewall_flags="" # Flags passed to ipfw when type is a file

Yes it's good starting point.

To list all the rules:
# ipfw list

dctr in the article:
IPFW Firewall Explained
are used two network cards identified as xl0 and xl1.

You can identify your network card with a command:

#ifconfig

Naturally if you connect directly to the Internet through a router and you have only one network adapter is necessary to modify the example.

Note:
I use ipfw on opensolaris.

Certainly there is some difference but the substance does not change much.

Granted IPFW is a fantastic firewall - Might I recommend a more syntax friendly firewall PF.

I am not trying to deter you from your IPFW, over the years I noticed a increasing amount of people switching (depends on needs), so you might want to take a gander.

Most will use IPFW w/ DummyNET for QoS -- The PF alternative, ALTq is good but not as polished as dummynet. Personally I'd still go with PF
