based in the last words of Roberto email, i think the problem
is related to routing. to me it looks like the clients on net
192.168.1.x donot know where to send packets intended for other
networks. try netstat on those machines, to see if there is a
default route, if there is one pointing to 192.168.1.1, then i
guess the problem is on rule set on ipfw.
