Have you got routing information setup correctly? The gateway, netmask etc. That should have gone into network.opts, but check it by typing netstat -r. Are your name-servers assigned correctly? Did you try pinging outside using the IP address or the name address? What is written in /etc/resolv.conf? Drew Parsons
