Hi Jacco,

Here are a couple of resources my friends and I found usefull when we were doing the same thing.

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 - This is very complete (scroll down) and will even give you an introduction into TCP/IP if you start at the beginning.

http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ipfw.html - Gives you a step by step walkthrough of setting up basic NATD & IPFW.

You might also want to look at the various entries on IPFW and NATD on http://www.freebsddiary.org/

Good luck!

Dan
