Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network:

NETWORKING=Yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain

Contents of /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 216.218.xxx.x
nameserver 216.218.xxx.x
nameserver 192.168.200.1
search localdomain

The first two are the DNS servers for the ISP of the location the computer
came from.  The next one is the IP of my firewall.

Shows 192.168.200.87.  Hmm... This one does not make sense.  I have the
firewall set to dole out IP addresses from 192.168.200.100 to .150.  How did
it get .87?  It must be hard coded somewhere.  Interesting because that means
that the firewall will not accept outgoing packets from an IP outside the
defined range... OK, hunting stuff down.

Any further thoughts?
