Can't see anything wrong with services or protocols, neither has been
written to in a year.
This seems to only be a cmd line problem as I can ping the box from
outside. I tried the ping program that comes with the General Network
Utilities (from ecomstation.ru IIRC) and that ping works, also the ping
from HOBlink also works. Everything else internet related works except
syslogd crashes on startup. I have privoxy and oops running, oops like
syslogd uses an AF_OS2 socket.
The more I look at it the stranger it seems
