I have tried several times to watch what happens on this machine.
So thats the results:

  other machine:
  # ping 195.124.230.50

  195.124.230.195:
    the switch sends the data to the machine (blinking lamp for right
port on HP ProCurve)
    the EthernetCard receives the packets (blinking ACT(ive) LED on NIC)
    tcpdump shows nothing

  # ping 195.124.230.49
    tcpdump shows several echo requests and replies for packets from
firewall and inet-gateway
