thinking that this is redhat install...
make sure that firewall config isn't interfering...

service ipchains stop
service iptables stop

less /etc/sysconfig/network (will show hostname / gateway which s/b
smoothwall ip address

less /etc/resolv.conf which should be the name servers provided by the
