1. ping is a security risk from within a jail and is disabled by design. 
  (read jail(8) for details). No use using a jail if the first thing you 
do is re-enable ping in the jail. To test for public internet connection 
from within a jail use dig or whois commands.

2. Using the hosts firewall to drive traffic to a jail is a sign you 
have your jail incorrectly configured or do not understand how jails are 
intended to work.

3. Jail do not have a network stack of their own, so they cant have a 
firewall. The host's firewall and and network stack are in control.

4. There are 2 utilities for creating jails. Qjail the better documented 
of the 2, is designed for the novice which clearly you are. I strongly 
suggest you checkout
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qjail
