If you are using NPF there is a setting in there to add a range of IP
addresses for your home network and even settings that allow it to
"learn" from outbound connections from the client computers. These can
be found under the advanced settings

Subject: windows XP and firewalls

I have a home network that has windows XP. I did have Norton firewall
on here, and now sygate firewall. If my firewall is on, my clients in
my home network aren't able to access the internet. I have opened the
UDP and TCP ports that I was supposed to open, and they still can't help
me any, can any of you give me any suggestions to be able to try? Thank
you! Sincerely, Cami Boyd

P.S. the clients all have windows ME on them
