Galileo:~# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

I'm running through a router with a pretty basic firewall; there's 
nothing specific assigned to or blocked from the Sparc. I've tried 
connecting the Sparc directly to the DSL modem, with no useful results.
