I have a weird problem where ping (and other services) only works when I
log into the machine locally or from my lan. if I connect from the internet,
ping only sends one packet, receives it, then stops.


for example:

telnet from internet to my gateway, ping anywhere, ping fails.

telnet from my lan to gateway, ping anywhere, ping works

telnet from internet to my lan, telnet to gateway, ping works


some services such as my database connection, ping, & traceroute only work
if I log in from a local machine. why would the machine I log in from 
affect the behavior of services on that machine?
