(ASCEND) Pipe75 and Ethernet data filters.



I've been unable to get data filters working for Ethernet.  If I
set any non-empty filter in Ethernet/Mod Config/Ether options, I
find that I can't make any connections at all from the ethernet.
If I set a filter who's input and output filters are all Valid=No,
then it works fine.  If I set a filter with a single in and a single
out filter like:

    Valid=Yes
    Type=IP
    Ip...Forward=Yes
    Ip...Src Mask=0.0.0.0
    Ip...Src Adrs=0.0.0.0
    Ip...Dst Mask=0.0.0.0
    Ip...Dst Adrs=0.0.0.0
    Ip...Protocol=0

it doesn't work (I cannot access the router from the ethernet).

My goal, here, is to setup a filter which explicitely denies certain
packets, allows certain others, and denies all that are not handled
by a specific rule.  For instance, deny all ethernet-out packets
with src on the LAN, and all ethernet-in packets with dst on the
LAN, while allowing ethernet-in with src on the LAN and ethernet-out
with dst on the LAN.  Relatively simple stuff, but if I can't even
say "allow everything to pass" successfully...

Thanks,
