[ale] Interenet connection

[Geoffrey]

It appears to me that:

1. Your gateway is not properly set up.
2. You're not getting to your DNS, which would be caused by #1.

My gateway machine is on an internal lan separated by a dmz.  My gateway 
ip is 172.16.255.220. The gateway for that machine is 172.16.10.215. 
That gateway is connected to my dsl line.  Here is the beginning of my 
traceroute:

  /usr/sbin/traceroute www.google.com
traceroute to www.google.com (216.239.39.101), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
  1  b.home.edu (172.16.255.220)  3.905 ms   4.888 ms   5.859 ms
  2  a.dmz.edu (172.16.10.215)  50.971 ms   60.442 ms   61.323 ms
.
.

So you see my machine goes to 172.16.255.220 which then goes to 
172.16.10.215 and so on.

The latest, most widespread virus?  Microsoft end user agreement.
Think about it...
