We have tried IP address and domain names and they resolve OK, it just 
refuses to do the actual ping.

I checked ipchains and it appears that I'm open to the world (input, out 
put and forward all accept). We can also telnet out but can't telnet in. 
The thinking here is that certain deamons aren't up. How does one check 
such a thing? What is meant to be running in a default install. What needs 
to be running to get networked?

Thanx again
