Just getting back to this problem.  I'm afraid I didn't understand  
what you meant by "192.168.6.1 run" in this context.

This problem has a number of different symptoms.  Not only can I no  
longer use AIM; yesterday I discovered that I can't 'rsync' either.   
And I can't get my system clock to synchronize with Internet clocks  
via the Ubuntu Date and Time feature, either.

I was able to discuss this with one of the sysadmins late this  
afternoon.  He, too, advised me to run:
   iptables -L -v -n
He showed me what he characterized as "normal" output when he ran it  
on his Linux box -- and the output was much more detailed than mine.   
But I didn't get a chance to discuss it further with him.  He could  
rsync to the site to which I failed to rsync -- and that's a site I  
had no problem rsynching to from home.

Any further diagnostic suggestions, ladies and gentlemen?  TIA
