Yes.

Yes. I'm getting my address via dhcp, and the dns servers are correct. I
can do nslookups just fine.

Yes, actually I used -vvv for more info. The key exchange starts, but
then all traffic just stops.

tcpdump, ethereal, et al. The traffic just stops. Almost like networking
just shuts down.

Nope, I even tried recompiling without iptables support.

Everything looks completely normal. The only error that I see in the
logs is:

Oct 13 08:26:33 metatron kernel: atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on
isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying access
hardware directly.

However, I get those errors with a 2.6.7 kernel, too, and everything
works fine with 2.6.7. But, just for fun, I shut down X, and the problem
seems to go away. Hmm... Strange things are afoot at the Circle K..
