This setup had been running fine for over a year...and yes the 
general networking works.  I was previously running the web server on 
the same box and it was fine...except once the traffic started 
getting high (hence the move to offsite hosting with LiveVOIP LLC).

Sorry I meant that I can't ping out past the gateway.  There is no 
problem ping internal addresses (i.e. the ones that IAX clients are 
calling from).

I have a reasonable knowledge of the config files and have many 
Asterisk boxes set up at remote locations around New Zealand.  The 
reason I can't ping is because I set my firewall to disallow incoming 
ICMP.
