Jggimi thanks again,
Prior to my last post I did some troubleshooting since I could not SSH into the box, by enabling DHCP. That was a no go. I then disabled pf and had the same problem. So it had to be the cable, changed the cable and it was all good. The only issue I have is that it takes about 15+ seconds after I initiate Putty, with the username to get a response for the password.
You are absolutely right. Your last response alerted me that I should have documented my rules. I'm in the process of doing that to prevent that WTF! It will also aid me in re-enforcing my learning.

Lastly, I do see a nat-to rule after all; its the last rule in your set. My apologies. I guess I'm used to seeing NAT in match rules at the top of a ruleset, rather than as a pass rule at the bottom.

Is there a best practice as to where the NAT rules should be placed?
I defined, Macros, Tables, Queueing, Filtering, Should create another section? or where in the difined section should I place NAT rules?
