The firewall seems to be drakfirewall. It is turned off so no firewall at all.
Further checking shows I can access
127.0.0.1
192.168.1.5
localhost
Which is what you would expect as they are all the same location.
I cannot access anywhere outside of the local box with a web browser, telnet 
or ftp client this includes the router connected to the box.

I can ping anywhere
router 2ms
www.demon.co.uk 20ms
www.rense.com 174ms
No packet loss

These figures sound perfectly normal so there is nothing slowing down ping.

I have tried (briefly) running konqueror as root but there is no change.

Forgot to dump dmesg to floppy but will do it next time I plug in the new 
drive.
