sounds like you have a firewall on.
try loggin in as root, type
ipfw list
if you see a listing for deny ip any any
type, ipfw add 0001 permit ip from any to any
then, vi /etc/defaults/rc.conf
set the firewall_type to open

this is shooting from the hip.  if i'm horribly wrong, don't blame me,
just blame my 20 second thinking.
