Tried that, but did it again just to dbl check.  The only diff this makes=
 is
that I just don't get ANY info when I try to ping.  It just sits there un=
til I
hit ctrl-c.  Then gives nothing if I use a host name, and 100% packet los=
s if
I use an IP#.

One additional item I found out, proably VERY important - nothing can pin=
g me
if I use this 'broken' kernel.  Did a lot of 'unneeded' changes to the co=
nfig
file.  Gonna do it again & see what happens . . . =

I saw this on a box of mine once.  It was because I had ipfw/natd set up
incorrectly.  Try these commands to see if it clears the problem up:

/sbin/ipfw -f flush
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via fxp0 (your device shou=
ld go
there)
/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any

If everything works after doing this, you might check to see what your
firewall_flags variable is set to in /etc/rc.conf.  =
