Are you sure these are the right addresses? - 194.195.196.0 sounds like a
network address, not a host address - maybe this is your problem?

You also have to decide what you want the firewall to do - the most common
(and probably correct) policy is 'implicit deny', so you would start of by
making your firewall deny everything by default - and then add the services
you want to allow...

How you go about this depends on what you want to allow, and which version of
FreeBSD your running (for example - 2.2.5 has a file in /etc called
'rc.firewall' - look at that for examples ;-)
