Hello,
I cannot ping 8.8.8.8 from the newly installed machine. The old machine
(Devuan ASCII), connected to the same router and switch, is able to ping
anything including 8.8.8.8.
I really can't think of what could be wrong. I'm beginning to wonder if
the firewall, which I did not setup, was modified by one of the
firewall/security packages (E.G. nftables). But that would be weird.

Thanks,
David
