wow, you have been through everything... one of the things i was getting at
when asking about the nic drivers was if they were all using the same version
of the source code for that driver... apparently, though, the problem is higher
in the tree... you can get to the firewall but can't get out... IPv4 or IPv6
or both? i ask because i can do IPv6 internally to a point... i do not,
though... IPv6 is stopped at my firewall because it doesn't support IPv6 (yet)
and have all the mods i require... IPv4 just works... i've had a few machines
that i had to specifically disable IPv6 on so they would use only IPv4... until
my firewall supports IPv6, i'm not even worrying about it other then some
light reading here and there about it...

Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it
wrong...
... My train of thought is a Mag-Lev.
