thanks, but it's not a software firewall. It's a hardware box that's running our whole network. If we change somehting on the firewall, it should affect every computer - mac or pc - the same. the wierd thing is that it's only affecting the macs.
As far as browsing the web from the macs, well I'm writing this reply from one of the macs. Hmm... now I just tried to stream an online radio stream and connect to an FTP server and neither of these would work. well ftp connected but wouldn't download the file list. Arrgh, looks like we're having big problems with the router.
