I had actually tried it with the firewall enabled previously, but because that had not worked either, had disabled hoping it would work after (mis-?)reading a post here. But it seems now that I failed to recompile the kernel with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT, so I'll check back once that's done and tested. (Fwiw, the configuration I'm trying to implement is: Cable-Modem <=> FBSD <=> hub <=> Mac, PC, etc.)
