For the tests I used ftp.sun.com and www.sun.com (which are both up now)
All tests worked identically using the IP address and the domain name. Here 
are the results, hope this helps!:
~ping~

Ping of sun.com/192.18.97.241

~traceroute~

[user@sivar:/root] traceroute -n 192.18.97.241

    [tries several more servers, all repeat the last error]



Attached is my rc.conf and kernel configuration file. Sorry about the .zip, 
compressed it in Windows.


Any suggestions would be very helpful The system isn't tweaked anough that I 
can't reasonably just re-install, but that's a tactic that I use with 
Windows, not BSD--and besides, I want to know what's wrong so that I can fix 
it if I ever see the problem again!
