Look for firewall_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Remove it and reboot to disable the firewall. If you don't want to disable it, look for firewall_type in /etc/rc.conf and edit the relevant lines in /etc/rc.firewall If you currently have a "client" type firewall, setting the "net" and "mask" variables in /etc/rc.firewall might do the trick, depending on how your network is set up.
