If you really want to solve this, then you should be a lot more verbose on the relevant details. In this case, the (doesn't work) parts are where details are REALLY needed. Computers can not-work in millions of ways, if we are to figure our where your conf is wrong you should start adding details. The hostname.xx0 file and its resulting ifconfig output, the pf.conf, the routing table, any /etc/mygate left in there would be a good start to solve this, instead of repeatedly iterating over it and just reporting "didn't work". -- May the most significant bit of your life be positive.
