my ADSL router (Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro) indeed does NAT.,

- but whatsoever, the response was too slow (i've fiddled with OBSD for 
5-6 months, without being able to both run P2P apps and surf (!) so i've 
had to run P2P apps only by night time (8 hours)... so i wasted ~4 
months of download time because of using OBSD with a very standard 
config (NAT)),

2 days ago, i've abandoned OBSD as my Gateway, and went back to using 
the ADSL-router solely - in a day or two, i'll have a Broadband-Internet 
D-Link Router to do real Port-Forwarding for me, a thing that i've never 
managed to get to work with OBSD too.

as far as i can see it, OBSD is mostly good as a fortified server - no 
much more - so i'll probably go with Linux+ProPolice_enabled_GCC & 
IP-Tables sooner than later.

i'm very sorry :(

P.S. : my OBSD's /etc (networking) config. files are attached.
