Can ping, can't browse, behind firewall

[OctaneChris]

I am behind a corporate firewall, I DO have my proxy set up correctly in Netscape, but can't browse my local OR external web sites.

I can ping (and nslookup) local machines and others on the LAN; firewall prevents pinging (and nslookup) outside of intranet.

Running SGI IRIX (unix - SVR4 based) Octane system.

Check out thread59-355968 for full setup details...

A side note - when up, I get semi-frequent (about 8 per day) network connection lost and regained console messages, each lasting for about 3-4 seconds. Not sure what this is from...

Thanks for any help!
