I set it up successfully after reading the ipmasq HOW-TO. Please could you
be a little bit more specific what you did "by hand". My first guess (just
a shot in the dark) is, that you set up some firewall rules for input and
output (I think they're discussed in the HOW-TO) with wrong addresses. If
you can reproduce the problem, write what you did. Maybe I can see the
mistake.
Have you read the man-page for "ipfwadm" ?

That's the reason why I use it too.
