Where do you see that my firewall is set to accept by default?

how do I disable my firewall without recompiling a kernel?  Will
firewall_enable="NO" actually work?  Won't this just set the default deny
rule as the firewall?

Why would I run INETD, I am not sure?  Most of the errors with DHCLIENT said
make sure there are certain services turned off in INETD.  Also, there isn't
a service listed in INETD that I believe I need to run this machine?  Do I?
Maybe I am not clear on something...

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

Curt

Hello,

It seems to me as though you are running two class C networks for your
internal computers (xl0 and rl0) and have your cable modem running under
vr0.

The NATD stuff looks cool. Disable your firewall (even though it seems to be
set to accept by default) and then fix your cable modem.

Try commenting out the ifconfig_vr0="DHCP" line in your rc.conf.

Why are you not running INETD?

Matt.
