If it was loaded as a module, "kldunload ipfw" should do it. (Hmmm, if and only if it's actually unloadable, which I'm not sure about.) Otherwise, add a new rule at the very beginning that allows everything. (Unless you've rebuilt the kernel, ipfw is "default closed" so you have to have at least one rule to pass any traffic at all.) -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
