Well netstat -r showed that it didn't have a gateway, (they were trying to use
the multicast address 224 to connect), after I added a gateway every thing
came up.  Also 1 computer had an invalid resolv.conf file that caused "routed"
and "sendmail" to pause.  Moved it to a different name and the computer booted
fine and connected to the others.

Thanks for the help
