Have you recompiled the kernel with FIREWALL logging enabled?
Then.. on your IPFWADM deny/reject lines, put a "-o".  Now..
re-run your IPFWADM rulesets and check out your /var/adm/messages
file to see whats up.


BTW.. where did you get your IPFWADM Ruleset?  There are
many out there and most are VERY good.  Some don't work though.
