Brickhouse makes it all easier
Just to clarify: Brickhouse is shareware ($25 US), not freeware. If you mess with your firewall a lot, that's money well spent I'm sure.
Brickhouse makes it all easier
I recently tried Brickhouse and Firewalk X - both GUI utilities for the Firewall. I used Firewalk X with no problems for several weeks then decided to uninstall and try Brickhouse for a while to see which I liked better. Now I am unable to boot with the firewall activated. Whenever I reboot - the boot always hangs at "Starting up firewall". The only way I can startup is by booting into single-user mode and deleting the /Library/StartupItems/Firewall/. Very annoying. I am not necessarily saying that Brickhouse caused this - but it did appear after installing Brickhouse. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. BTW - static ip so the whole dynIp and firewalls issue does not apply.

Firewalk X actually uses its own firewall scheme seperate from OSX's built-in ipfw. You may make sure that the uninstall of Firewalk removed all traces of Firewalk. You may need to kill the startup items for Firewalk or reinstall and disable Firewalk to use Brickhouse.

I have disabled and uninstalled both, then reinstalled Brickhouse and still get problem. I am wondering if some permission has been changed somehwere that is affecting the firewall startup. |
