Below, you say a ping "failed", but you do not provide the sort of details I was trying to ask you to provide. Please tell us the *exact* command you entered and the *exact* message ping provided when it failed. pings fail in at least 4 distinct ways I can think of, *not* counting DNS issues, and the message you get from ping will help me, or someone here, figure out what is going on in your case. You might also try a traceroute and see how far it gets. If you want help interpreting that, don't even think about providing anything short of the complete output of the process. ># fx > Now ... you say first that you cannot ping to "any external IP ># fx > number", but ># fx > then refer to "external FQDN".
