> Is it an MTU/fragmentation issue? (Check out ping -M)

While I definitely value the help, part of why I am 
frustrated is that I don't UNDERSTAND the problem, and, 
as such, I consider ping a diagnostic tool. 

The point being, the ping isn't the problem (it's just
one way of showing the problem).

So, even if I get the ping to work, it still does nothing
to solve the problem (although it may explain a bit).

Since the problem manifests itself in the inability to 
connect via port 80 (i.e., the web), I have previously 
doubted the way I'm running ping has anything to do with it.

To me, in my simple mind, trying to get the ping to work is
sort of like having an engine misfire, and then I try all
sorts of options on my voltmeter to get it to give me a 
good reading.

Whether or not I get a good reading on the voltmeter, I 
still have the misfire. 

Back to the specifics, whether or not I get a good reading
on the ping, I still have the web failing to connect. 

I'm not saying ping isn't a great DIAGNOSTIC tool.

I'm just asking how a ping -M is going to help me UNDERSTAND
why I can't connect via the web to centos.org?

Nonetheless, in the next post, I'll post my ping results
(in the hope that it helps to UNDERSTAND what's going on!).
