There could be a hundred reasons as to why you dont reach www.freebsdforums.org. _Might_ be an MTU problem somewhere upstream, if ICMP is filtered this is definitly a bigger problem. Does ping work? If they also filter UDP as you mention (fbsd traceroute not working) I'd suggest you talk to your ISP and find out exactly what they are filtering. Are those 8 static IP's public or private? If they start with 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x through 172.16.31.x.x they must be NATed and it is their NAT configuration that blocks the traceroute.

I've also turned off ipfw on one of the FBSD boxes and I still can't even traceroute to the router! So at the end.., I've resigned myself to emailing Zen on how they're handling UDP ports 33434-33500 within their fabric. I can't see anything else I can do here with respect to setting up the FBSD boxes., if even with ipfw set to allow by default, I still can't even traceroute the (Zen-purchased) router.

Stacey, FreeBSD uses UDP based traceroute while Windows boxes use ICMP based traceroute. Some providers (like ComCast cable) block ICMP packets (so tracert on Windows fails), but let UDP packets through (which means that BSD based traceroute succeeds).
