I ran route -n  and it shows that it is pointing to the firewall as the 
gateway.

nscd has been running all along.  I hadn't encountered that program 
before so I just left it running.  I know enough to be dangerous but 
not enough to be an expert yet.  :)

Hmmm .... I can stop nscd and see if that does anything.  route seems 
good.  I'm not sure what the problem can be.  I'd suspect our firewall, 
but no other computer on the network is having problems.  So ... Hmmm.

Thanks,

Stuart
