No worries, thanks a lot for answering.

This is funny, I just set this up for the first time yesterday except I set everything up to have no IP addresses so that the firewall would be invisible to anyone. I think I see what is wrong with your setup...

You've got to change net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 to net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf. The handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html) says that net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1 was updated in 5.2-RELEASE.


net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
net.link.ether.bridge.config=fxp0,fxp1
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1

# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1
net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw: 1 -> 1
#

# ipfw add deny icmp from any to any
00100 deny icmp from any to any
#

# ipfw show
00100      0         0 deny icmp from any to any
65535 931748 651891769 allow ip from any to any
#

PING EXT_IP_BEHIND_BRIDGE: 56 data bytes

Seems not to be working :(
