	Thanks for explaining that!

	Yep, they are in sync.  I guess I stayed up all night trying to
figure it out and right before your message, that's what I decided to do
by changing my /etc/rc.conf for firewall_enable="NO" from "YES" even
though I left the firewall_type="open".  My /etc/rc.firewall script does
use pipe and queues from dummynet so I don't know if that has an effect or
not.  But anyways, with the firewall disabled, this time ping and
traceroute doesn't seem to get anywhere and "ipfw show" shows:
65535   299    19878 deny ip from any to any
so I did a "ipfw add 65000 allow all from any to any" and then the box can
reach the outside fine so it seems like either the ipfw or dummynet is
broken.
