This might be a stupid question, but are you using a proxy server in 
your webbrowser?  If so, you need to bypass 10.0.0.138/

Beyond that, no specific suggestions, but modems sometimes intercept 
packets in weird ways since if the modem is operating as a bridge, it 
doesn't have a normal IP and isn't addressable as a device.

Consider, the current IP (and default gateway probably) isn't in 10/8, 
which means the outbound packets will be addressed to 10.0.0.138, but 
with the MAC address of your default gateway.  The modem intercepts 
these packets and responds, but sometimes a modem won't spoof the 
upstream gateway's MAC address on return packets.  This technique seem 
to work for Windows-based PCs, but likely not for BSD.
