actually it looks like you are having a problem with ARP resolution.

First and most important:  how do your sources (src/sys/netinet)
compare with the ones in -stable ? i thought you were using -stable,
which is much more up-to-date than the version on my web page
(especially for bugfixes).

i think quite a few people are using dummynet with the same config as
you, so if there was some major screwup in the code in -stable i'd have
got a lot of reports.

* have you seen any difference by adding a catchall rule (much like
  setting IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT ?)

* does local traffic always flow ?

* have you tried pinging a remote host for which you already have an
  ARP cache entry ?

* what is the output of "ipfw show" "ipfw pipe show" "netstat -nr"
  while traffic is being blocked ?
