[ale] ping won't pong.........

[Courtney Thomas]

Thank you Jim.

No, I cannot ping an IP address, except for the default indicate by 
netstat -rn. I also cannot ping the IPS DNS servers or other web 
servers. I can however ping the other boxes on the LAN.

When I ping, say......www.apple.com.... it's IP address is immediately 
found and the modem lights blink in normal rhythmic fashion, but no 
onscreen pong sequence occurs, as formerly.

I should add that I've recently changed ISPs.

Appreciatively,
Courtney
