ah. well, unfortunately that machine is at work and i'm at home, so i
cant look directly at it, but if i remember correctly, i added the
following junk to /etc/rc.conf:

gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
natd_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"

try that out. i think briefly i had no networking at all, but i think
that stuff fixed it.
