      If someone tries to connect to a port on my network that is closed (default deny) shouldn't the firewall log show that connection attempt?  I've had people portscan both of my WAN IPs and I don't see anything in the Firewall logs.  I'm using 1.2.3RC1. Thanks.

        Did you enable logging for a specific rule?
        The default "block all" rule should log, but if you have other rules, they might interfere.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          I have nothing being logged and the only thing that shows up in the log is some TCP:F and TCP:R and other stuff. Nothing that really makes any sense or is useful. And when I enable logging to a syslog server via port 514, I get nothing. I guess I could wipe out the install and go back to 1.2.2 and see what happens.

            I fixed the problem. I reinstalled 1.2.2 and made sure my LAN ports were getting public IPs from the modems. I think double NAT was killing stuff.
