Sounds like your "other people" are outside your subnet, so it cant return them 125. This is networking fundamental

My educated guess would be the OP is trying to spoof OpenBSD as Windows machine by ttl value. IIRC, by default, ttl is set to 128 and 64 for Windows and *nix machine respectively. Its kind of "security through obscurity"
