Well I can ping the gateway but I can't ping something else. I have a linux box used as a firewall and a router. It's like I try to connect for example: ftp ftp.microsoft.com and it shows no error messages, it justs freezes like if I was blocked by the firewall. maybe I should check out the firewall rules. But I don't think it's this problem. Any ideas?
