Not that Im aware of, no. The firewalls in place are the default Windows
firewall, and the CentOS firewall, but Im not aware of any such rules in
their default rulesets.

Hrm. I guess I could try rebooting the provider's 'modem' (presumably
clearing any cache) and see if those do show up in that case ?


Just in case it might help, I did a trace on the host nic with
wireshark/pcap while doing a ping/ping6/wget from the Centos guest
(host-os-nic.pcap.gz).
