So, you're saying that with this configuration, you: 1] Cannot ping any hosts on the internal network 2] No internal hosts can ping the internal IP address of the g'way. Do this for me:- 1] tail /var/log/security 2] Back-up your current ipfw ruleset - and disconnect (physically) from the internet 3] create a new rule set that reads ipfw add allow log ip any to any 4] reload the new ruleset into place 5] Try connecting to and from other internal hosts 6] Post logs here.
