Thanks,
what I had originally done is:
#dhclient rl0 (because I know that is the interface) my firewall/dhcp gave me 192.168.168.2 (that is my LAN). I am not on the same network (or even the same country), so yes I am accessing via internet.
Now I asked him to #ifconfig
that returns 192.168.168.3 my firewall is set to allow traffic to 192.168.168.2 and now asking my colleague to configure my firewall would be well.....
/etc/resolv.conf already has the nameserver set.
I called my colleague and unfortunately is out until tomorrow. So I will post the syntax error tomorrow.
As my colleague a windows user I sent the command he had to enter via email so there would be no confusion.
thanks again to all for the help!!!
