I don't think it is. When I supply the IP of a nameserver outside of my
network the ping still fails. I'm getting pretty fustrated with this.
It can't be a hardwar failure, as I can receive responses to my pings. 

The system boots to the miniroot fine, but we have house rules here (at my
appt the "homedatacenter") about machines needing to be on the network or
else...There are no expansion slots so I can't try additional adapters.
Anyone ever see anything like this before?
