Yeah, I didn't do a very good proof-read of that mail, huh?

Well, the line in the stock rc.firewall is,
# Prototype setups.
if [ "${firewall_type}" = "open" -o "${firewall_type}" = "OPEN" ]; then
So either should be fine.
What does your rc.conf look like at this point? What is the output of
'ipfw show'? And toss in the output of 'ps p `cat /var/run/natd.pid`'
to make sure that is running.

There are a lot of ways to go here. Use 'ifconfig -a' to check all of
the interfaces are up and addressed apropriately. Check out 'netstat
-rn' to make sure that your routing table is set up right, and then
you can always do 'tcpdump -i <interface>' to see exactly what packets
might be coming or going.
