It is likely you have an incomplete routing table.
Do a (netstat might be in a different place on your machine, like /sbin).
/usr/etc/netstat -rn
The output should have several lines that look like the following
Destination Gateway Netmask Flags Refs Use
Interface
default 128.138.134.3 UG 4 355 ef0
.....
If you don't have a line that points to the gateway for your your ef0
interface, then you will have to put one in (here it is 128.138.134.3).
A temporary fix would be something like
sudo /usr/etc/route add default gw 128.138.134.3
Manpage 'route' for more info. Also, 3rd Edition _Running Linux_ has a
reasonable discussion that more or less applies to SGIs. For more
automation, you will have to enter this line or the equivalent in the
machine's startup scripts. See 2nd Edition _Essential System Administration_
for the low-down on startup scripts.
