Hi, Very simple question: How does a rule have to look, when I like to drop Broadcasts? I can't find any documentation about this. Thanks for your help. Greetings Dominik ________________________________________ Zeitschriftenabos online bestellen - jetzt neu im Infoboten! http://www.epost.de

For global broadcasts, drop 255.255.255.255, for directed broadcasts it depends on your network address, if you have a 192.168.0.0/24 it would be 192.168.0.255, for examle. (The last "IP-Address" in your network is the broadcast address.) Bjoern
If you will ask google.com : drop broadcast iptables the third answer is http://www.linuxguruz.org/iptables/scripts/rc.firewall_010.txt and there stands BROADCAST="x.x.x.255" (where the x.x.x is to fill up with your network or with 0) iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE -d $BROADCAST -j DROP icmp broadcasts are named there 2 My 60 seconds Michael Appeldorn
