The firewall typically only blocks inbound connections, so that won’t be
the issue.

In a terminal window, get the output of:

/sbin/ifconfig
/sbin/route

Also what happens if you try something like:

ping 137.65.1.1

or

traceroute 137.65.1.1

?

In addition to the output of ifconfig and route asked for by Jim, could you
also include the output of:


cat /etc/resolv.conf
