You didn't say what firewall you were using.  Dachstein and Eigerstein
have their firewall scripts; Oxygen relies on add on packages like
Echowall, Seawall, or rcf.

As was mentioned, "can't ping" can mean four different things; how did
ping fail?

I can think of several things to check:

* Is ICMP allowed outside the firewall?
* Is eth0 really the outside interface?  Are you sure?
* Oxygen by default refuses to answer pings on its interfaces

Things to try:

* When you ping a DNS location (such as www.apple.com or
www.sourceforge.net) does the name resolve?
* If the name does resolve, do you get a ping?
* Try telnet instead.  If you get instant refusal (or acceptance!),
then there is connectivity to that machine.  If telnet hangs for a
LOOONG time (3 min) and then works - you don't have DNS.  If telnet
hangs and times out with no connection - you have no connectivity.
