(Gaah, I'm such an idiot...) Actually the DSL-provider does't block at all,
but even worse, I myself set-up the firewall of the institute, where the
gateway is located, to allow only ESP and udp/50... ;-(

these guys and their network pretty well.

Yes, but according to my previous statements I'm now very sure, that this

couldn't find any ICMP-messages from the WLAN-router.
