Matt, IPFW2 is not compiled into 4.10 by default. At a shell, type "man ipfw", then a single forward slash (to bring up the search tool), then search for STABLE a couple of times .... directions are in there.... Here it is anyway.... USING IPFW2 IN FreeBSD-STABLE ipfw2 is standard in FreeBSD CURRENT, whereas FreeBSD STABLE still uses ipfw1 unless the kernel is compiled with options IPFW2, and /sbin/ipfw and /usr/lib/libalias are recompiled with -DIPFW2 and reinstalled (the same effect can be achieved by adding IPFW2=TRUE to /etc/make.conf before a buildworld).
