| I recently helped a friend set up an IPFilter firewall that sits between computers in his dorm room and the rest of the campus network. However, we have run into a problem -- the firewall does not pass broadcast packets, and thus my friend's video games that use broadcast packets to find servers cannot be used behind the firewall. I've perused the IPF documentation, but I haven't seen anything regarding broadcast packets, so this could be more of a NAT issue. For firewall rules, basically we're blocking all incoming packets, and passing and keeping state on all outgoing packets. Anyone have any ideas? Regards, Joseph Dunn |
