I can't ping nodes outside my subnet. I can reach the internet by hopping via another machine on the subnet, which makes it possible to write this e-mail.
Is there a config file I should check carefully? Things broke when I upgraded my Debian Sid in late July, with the previous successful upgrade in late June. My /etc/resolv.conf, which works OK on other nodes: search rnd.ki.sw.ericsson.se nameserver 147.214.214.11 nameserver 147.214.214.111 These nameservers are inside the company firewall, and I don't think they can be pinged from the outside.
