I never mentioned the 192.168.0.151 router before because it was only on the network for a short time last week.  It has not been on or attached to anything for days...

The big server I'd like to use here is still giving me trouble.  I can ping, dig, and nslookup hosts outside our network; but whenever I try to browse the net with Firefox, it can't find any hosts at all.

That's even after turning off all of the ipv4-routing and ipv4-forwarding, changing all the zones to not start up at boot time, and rebooting.  This is with just the server itself running, with no non-global zones running.

Does anyone have any idea why that might be?

I'm all beat up.  I need to call it a day.  

I have a "simpler" OI box that works -- and still works.  I'm half-tempted to just move everything over from the other server to it, configure everything in the global zone, just use it, and be happy.

Or possibly drop back to a very early boot environment on the server I wanted to use, and see if I can get it to see the net.  If so, reconfigure it with everything in the global zone and see if I can get it to work that way.

I don't know.  

I have to call it a day.

I appreciate all the help, everyone!  I appreciate it very much!

Thank you.
