Ha, I'm crap at this linux lark (I just don't get it most of the time!).

Things that come to mind are firewalls (had problems with them in the 
past) and permissions i.e. you can ping an address (presumably an 
external one, not just the router???), but I'm supposing that thats from 
a terminal???

So, surely, that means that it must be browser connected??? hence 
suggesting permissions.

Sorry if thats not much help, but it's all that a nugget like me can 
think of! - One of the knowledgable types might have better suggestions.

p.s. awd? What an unusual name!
