[SunHELP] SunNewbie...still can't access internet after install of OS...

[Marvin Cummings]

Hey I shouldn't have to forward that port on my linksys router should I?
I thought that internet connectivity would be automatic especially since
I don't have this problem on any of my other systems, including linux
systems. Let me know your thought. 
I'm not familiar with ettherall or monitor as I've yet to download and
install a single application onto this box. And I think I'm resolving
fine as nslookup is returning the correct info. 
Traceroute on www.sun.com tells me: 
Traceroute www.sun.com
Traceroute to www.sun.com (64.124.140.181), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

Sounds like someone is blocking your IP or Network # at the firewall to
the 
Internet. Try a traceroute to an internet site and see how far it gets.
Install ettherall and monitor at the same time. Can you resolve an
internet name 
to a IP # Think DNS to
