yes, but like I said, I have no firewall options enabled in rc.conf, wouldn't that allow people to at least access httpd on the box? Or does freebsd now by default not allow it?

People can ping my server just fine, however trying to access any services (web, smtp, pop3) are futile. Yet, they can ping it. There isn't a kern_securelevel, so I dunno if that'd be it (I don't even know if that'd be related). However, I can access the services just fine on the network here. It just seems that anyone outside my network can't access it. Any ideas? Things I can provide to help figure it out? > > > > Are you running something like ipfw or some other firewall.
