A firewall set to accept by default has the last rule in the chain as an accept rule. The opposite goes for deny, whereby the last rule is a deny rule (this is the most common way to set up a firewall).
The firewall is not the problem. Leave the inetd running, just comment out all the services you don't need in inetd.conf. Do you use ppp to connect to your ISP via a tunnel? Are you using an internal cable modem? Did you try comment out the DHCP line in your rc.conf? Matt.

Will firewall_enable="NO" actually work? Won't this just set the default deny rule as the firewall? Why would I run INETD, I am not sure? Most of the errors with DHCLIENT said make sure there are certain services turned off in INETD. Also, there isn't a service listed in INETD that I believe I need to run this machine? Do I? Maybe I am not clear on something... Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

The NATD stuff looks cool. Disable your firewall (even though it seems to be set to accept by default) and then fix your cable modem. Try commenting out the ifconfig_vr0="DHCP" line in your rc.conf. Why are you not running INETD? Matt.
