To clarify even further (sorry for the 2nd msg). 

Most (if not all) other machines are able to access my network through the
PF firewall without any issues (xp/2000/nt , linux, bsd). As soon as a
Windows Vista machine tries to access my network, the connection attempt
times out (www, ftp, ssh).

I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced something similar with Vista
and their firewall. I realize it may be something with Vista, but this issue
seems to be related with PF firewalls and Vista.
