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.
