Sounds to me like you need to carefully go over your network setup. Have you verified that the problem machines correctly have all the information they need: proper netmasks, routers, etc? Run tcpdump on both interfaces of the gateway and see if that provides any hint. I have a strong suspicion that you're looking in the wrong place -- otherwise you would have found the problem. Are there two DHCP servers on this network? Wouldn't be the first time I saw that problem mess with someone's head. With the information you've provided so far, we're guessing in the dark. I doubt that ipfw is the culprit, but it's going to take more information to be sure. > Can ipfw or netgraph detect client's OS type and allow only Windows XP ? =)) Potentially, but I can't see it doing that by accident. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
