|[snip] | |What OS are we talking about now? I had been running OpenBSD 4.7 GENERIC#558 i386 Yesterday I installed (not upgraded, but a fresh install) OpenBSD 4.8 GENERIC#136 i386 and the ICMP traceroutes now work as expected. The sysctl.conf settings were the same in both the 4.7 and the 4.8 install. I am using the same pf rulesets that I had been using. I don't know of any other setting or config file that might affect pf in the manner I saw. |Not to throw curve balls but I had exactly the same problem as you |initially during 4.7 then at some point it came good (so the opposite |to your situation). |I did change my pf on the odd occasion and thought little of it.

The packet filters and firewalls were disabled on any Windows box. |[snip] In any case, now that I've moved to OpenBSD 4.8 for the firewall/router everything is working as expected now. I can traceroute from the FreeBSD client, and Windows without a problem. | |Best wishes. Thanks for hanging in there and helping me think through this.
