But, I'm under the impression that the man pages for ipfw are not accurate, at least for the post 2.0R current and latest snapshot. I think the addb and delb commands no longer exist and there is a "v" or "via" command, so you could say: ipfw addf accept tcp from 0 telnet,ftp to <localaddr:localmask> via <ext. interface IP> I also believe you need the options GATEWAY command in your config file.
