I am in DC for a few days and I can not remember if I tried to ping an IP address or not. I know I had no luck with URLs, but the resolv.conf file looked as it alwasys has. It worked well except just after the hurricanes shut the electricity down for a few days, but was working fine until yesterday. We tried a new router with a different default gateway IP address. We went back to the old router. I believe both had the firewall enabled, but that had not been a problem in the past. The SuSE Firewall is off. I will check it out on Thursday and repost. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
