I forgot a couple of rules here.  I'm assuming you want DNS to  
function, so here's another rule to add, immediately above the last,  
deny, line:

ipfw add allow udp from me to any
ipfw add allow udp from any 53 to me 53

Also, that last line above should read:

ipfw add deny all from any to me in
