If you read the CVS commit email (which all folks not running a release version are asked to do) you'd know that IPFW was recently modified to remove a # of holes in it, so now it disables *ALL* IP traffic unless told otherwise. See the recent discussion in the mailing lists (which you should be subscribed to) on why this was done. You'll need to re-install and read the new ipfw(8) man page as well. >PS. Yes, i posted this letter to freebsd-stable@freebsd.org but got no answer. > If anyone need some tcpdump or anything else please let me now. I never saw any messages on the stable mailing list as of this Thursday morning. *PLEASE* folks, if you are going to be running non-released version, you *must* get on the mailing lists.
