Easiest way I have found to troubleshoot rule problems is to turn on 
logging for your deny rules and find out what rule is blocking the 
traffic. Just add the 'log' or 'log logamount nn' (where nn is a number 
of entries to create). Once you try to connect again, you can then read 
/var/log/security and see where the packets are being dropped.

Another good method of troubleshooting is using # tcpdump -i ifaceX 
(where ifaceX is the interface the traffic is going through first). 
After you verify traffic can get through the first interface, dump the 
other interface. You will get results verifying whether the traffic was 
able to come in to the interface, and whether it was able to go back out.

You may also want to post to freebsd-ipfw.

Hope this helps!

Steve
