Will, I won't pretend to have a clue. Can I assume your interfaces file
looks ok? What about ifconfig lo?
When you refer to 'self ping', is that "ping localhost" "ping
<hostname>" or "ping 208.251.253.83"? That might give someone a clue.
My only real suggestion is to "whack it back to where it works." That
is, lose all the ipchains/NAT/firewall stuff and just go with
/etc/network/interfaces, and appropriate NIC driver. If that doesn't
work, at least the area of investigation is much smaller. If it does,
then add your other stuff one de-bug-able line or stanza at a time.
Not much, but it's all I've got.
