Yes, the IP was changed. I ran /etc/netstart, but it didn't help. As I said, 
ping works as normal, and the packet sniffer shows normal TCP connections and 
there are even answers from the remote servers, so I really have no clue what 
could be wrong. I don't think it would do this with a wrong IP.
