Hi guys,

This is certainly a weird problem. But I'm sure I won't need to attach
a pf.conf file to solve this. First of all, is it possible to ping
google.com, but not other nets even with the right DNS servers? For
example, suppose the public IP you've been given to setup up your
openbsd firewall is 184.159.29.23 (whatever) and you can ping google.
You have NAT setup on the firewall for your localnet (192.168.1.0/24).
So from inside the network, you can virtually use the internet without
a hitch except for accessing machines under the subnet
184.159.xxx.xxx. Is pf doing something to block these IPs even if
they're not in your NATed local net 192.168.1.0/24, which would all
have public IP 184.159.29.23. How come I can't ping and let alone use
services located at 184.159.xxx.xxx and vice versa? If I'm at a
computer located somewhere else with the for example, public IP
184.159.35.35, I can't access 184.159.29.23, my subnet. I have to use
a online web proxy to get to my subnet and vice versa. I'm not really
sure how pf works this out. If pf is the culprit, I'll attach a
pf.conf next time when I can actually my subnet (I'm at one of the
other computers).

I pulled all these public IPs out of thin air, just so that you know.

Help appreciated,
Vivek
