Thanks for responding, Thomas. You're right - that's what's killing my
Internet connection. I've changed the command to:

ipfw nat 1 config if re1 same_ports \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:80 80 \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:443 443 \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:1935 1935 \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:3478 3478 \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:3479 3479 \
        redirect_port tcp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:3480 3480 \
        redirect_port udp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:3478 3478 \
        redirect_port udp ${PS4_LAN_ADDRESS}:3479 3479

At least it doesn't kill anything now. But the PS4 still doesn't work.
When I do "Test internet connection" on it, it says "NAT: Failed".

For a DMZ, I need a separate network for the PS4 - is that right? That
means a separate physical connection (i.e. WAP or cable).

Thanks again,
    Graham
