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?

however, I do notice as when I'm shutting down the server, it's saving
firewall states. How do I check to see if it is running, and how to disable
that from happening?

be missing something. 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?
