	The inbound rules are below, however I would expect the highlighted line (***) to allow the packet. To allow inbound packets to 255.255.255.255 do we need to explicitly use this address, or should "any" be allowing this in?}
Bear in mind that the rules in ipf.conf are not necessarily loaded in the same sequence as they appear in the "ipf.conf" file.
On the command line, issue:

ipfstat -ion

to determine the sequence in which rules show up in IPFilter, and go from there. Good luck.
