 Thanks for checking the path to host was right.  Sorry but I had to
 ask. :-)
 
 Given the complaints from select above the next thing I'd like to
 check is your network interface settings.  Can you send the lines
 from /etc/rc.conf that configure the net interface and the output
 of 'ifconfig' please?  If you want to either send them as private
 email or replace the IP/netmask with "x" characters so that info
 doesn't get logged publically that's fine.
 
 And are you using any sort of firewalling?  ipfw or something along
 those lines?
 
 Thanks.
