expanding on what Noel Fitzpatrick said...

If I do ipfw -f flush   I still have rule 65535 deny ip from any to any

which allows NOTHING in or OUT. I can add DENY chains all day, but I cannot add any ALLOW chains unless I put in rule 65000 allow ip from any to any    but this goes at the very top and is the first chain processed ( which allows ANYTHING in ) even if there are DENY chains below it.

SO, from /etc/rc.firewall   I added IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
to my kernel and recompiled

In /etc/rc.conf, I have firewall_enable="YES"   and  firewall_type="open"

and still I cannot get rid of that pesky 65535 DENY everything rule that wont let me do anything unless I add  " ipfw add allow ip from any to any "   which allows everything despite ANY DENY chains.
