Subject:   Changed ISP now can't get to websites / traceroute
Message-ID:  <1057603959.349.193.camel@localhost>

Hello,
     Sorry for brining this to the list, but I've been grappling on my
own with this for the last two weeks now.

I had an ADSL connection at one point, but have moved home. With this, I
had to change ISP's in order to get ADSL where I now live. The thing is,
now that I've got this new ISP (Zen - 8 static IP's), I find that there
are sites that I am not able to get (browse) to, most concerning is
www.freebsdforums.org. Ever since I've got this new ADSL account, not
for hell nor high-water can I hit that site, using any browser, using
any OS (FreeBSD, RH £inux or MS Win2K Pro / XP) at home.

In addition to this, I am also unable to run traceroute from any FreeBSD
machine to *any* external site via IP address, nor WWW address, even
though I can from the MS Win machines.

With my previous ADSL provider (PIPEX) traceroute worked fine from *all*
machines, regardless of OS, hence my feeling it can't be anything to do
with ipfw running on my *nix boxes.., but then again..,

So here are my questions:

1] Does any here use Zen ADSL successfully and is able to connect to
www.freeBSDforums.org?

2] Does anyone know of any reason why traceroute might fail on FreeBSD,
but work on Win2K Pro?

Some info..,

I can ping www.freebsd.org:
$ ping www.freebsd.org

Needless to say there are no corresponding entries in /var/log/messages,
nor /var/log/security.

Please let me know if you'd want to see my ipfw rules, run any further
tests, etc. I didn't want this to go for too long, but I'll be willing
to provide any info you might need in order to assist.

Thanks for the time.

Regards,

Stacey
