Hmmm.. that's odd. What version of dhcpcd are you running?

The classis TCP timeout issue:
Run this command just after you setup your IPFWADM MASQ
rules:
echo "Extending MASQ timeouts.."
/sbin/ipfwadm -M -s 7200 10 120
BTW, if you haven't checked it out, check out my TrinityOS document.
Its a HOWTO for setting up MASQ, DHCP, dual nics (cablemodems), DNS,
PPP+DIALD (modem users), MASQ Sendmail, Security patching, etc.
