To which I'll add that it was not obvious in the original posting whether or not the FreeBSD system had two NICs or whether everything was connected to the hub/switch including cable modem. Walter said the firewall was disabled. So I'm guessing he is a long way from getting the Mac connected. Would be surprised if he has more than one IP address from his ISP (earthlink?), which would be required without NAT. And the firewall is needed to apply the divert rule to get NAT.
