I have failed to get nothing from google - its seems everyone has 
tried series of combinations!

Anyway, here is my rules:

ipfw add 00115 pass log tcp from any 1024-65535 to 10.0.0.1 
49152-65535
ipfw add 00116 pass log tcp from any to 10.0.0.1 21 in recv sis1 
setup keep-state
ipfw add 00117 pass log tcp from any to 10.0.0.1 20 in recv sis1 
setup keep-state

but this hasnt helped much. have been trying for days! does 
anyone have rules that are working - you can give 'em to me - or 
advise where the above rules need tweaking.
