I have two interfaces one connecting to the external network and one to the internal, both are working properly or so I think. I have internet on this machine and computers in my internal network can ping to this machine (and vice versa) but obviously they have no internet. I know I need to configure rc.firewall and do something else to complete the setup. Trouble is the rc.firewall on this FreeBSD is a little different from Linux and I want it all done Unix way. Please help, in as much detail as u possibly can. 

a) read handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-natd.html

b) identify you external netcard

c) as root:

echo >>/etc/rc.conf <gateway_enable="YES"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="ext_interface_name" # f.eks. fxp0, vr0, etc...
EOF

d) as root

/etc/rc.d/routing restart
/etc/rc.d/natd start

... should do it.
