Traceroute & ping works fine from the box and everything to the box (still) works and I have checked, double checked and triple checked all settings and I've discussed about this in EFnet's #FreeBSDhelp (without success) and on #FreeBSD (and got a bit more help) and every setting/configuration seems to be correct. I've even changed the hardware once to disable the probability of broken hw and I've even tried another OS on the box (which worked just fine). Here's some settings/configurations so you can see everything is like they're supposed to be. $ ifconfig -a vr0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 62.236.255.202 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 62.236.255.207 inet 62.236.255.203 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 62.236.255.203 inet 62.236.255.204 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 62.236.255.204 inet 62.236.255.205 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 62.236.255.205 ether 00:50:ba:0a:69:6e media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP none lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 $ netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 62.236.255.201 UGSc 12 106117 vr0 62.236.255.200/29 link#1 UC 0 0 vr0 => 62.236.255.201 0:0:c:41:b9:40 UHLW 13 0 vr0 277 62.236.255.202 0:50:ba:a:69:6e UHLW 0 6 lo0 62.236.255.203 0:50:ba:a:69:6e UHLW 0 4 lo0 => 62.236.255.203/32 link#1 UC 0 0 vr0 => 62.236.255.204 0:50:ba:a:69:6e UHLW 0 4 lo0 => 62.236.255.204/32 link#1 UC 0 0 vr0 => 62.236.255.205 0:50:ba:a:69:6e UHLW 0 4 lo0 => 62.236.255.205/32 link#1 UC 0 0 vr0 => 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 22 lo0 $ ipfstat -io empty list for ipfilter(out) empty list for ipfilter(in) $ ipfw show ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available No errors nor complaints in dmesg and so on.
