I upgraded from 2.4.1 to 2.6.3 on the computer that serves as my house gateway - it does NAT using ipfw2. Shortly after reaching a console login prompt, my system would crash.

It seemed that anything that would have to translate data back across the exterior interface would cause it. Turning off various programs helped, but the system would panic again if something external sent data destined for a computer on the internal side of the network. Removing these lines from /etc/rc.conf stopped the panics, but also lost my gateway for internal systems. gateway_enable="YES" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="em0" So: is anyone else still using ipfw2 on DragonFly? For NAT? Does it work? It looks like my next best idea is to switch to pf.
