deny everything that you do not have explicitly allowed in.

if your kernel config is still set to default deny, then it's every
address coming in reguardless of ipfw rules.

if you want some addresses allowed in, enter those rules with ipfw before
any rule denying incoming packets.

The art of war teaches us to rely not on the
likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on
our own rediness to receive him, not on the 
chance of his not attacking, but rather on
the fact that we have made our position
unassailable.
