I am pinging b/c I am testing. I am trying to install a port. When a 
port installs, it downloads the required files. Whenever I try, I get an 
error b/c it can't download any of the files needed for the port. This 
happens with all ports. On top of that I can't ping crap outside my 
network. Nothing.. Something is blocking me from going to the net. It 
not my router, i'm sure of that.
