I have new fedora core 3 box which I am having a strange network problem with.

I can not get out to the net while logged in. I can get to the machine
via ssh and apache is serving pages to the outside world but while
logged into the machine I can not get this page:

[tomp at highwire ~]$ wget http://localhost
--16:38:59--  http://localhost/
          => `index.html'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:80... failed: Permission denied.
Retrying.


Names resolve, ping works but I cant get out:

[root at highwire ~]# ping google.com

Trying 216.239.57.99...
telnet: connect to address 216.239.57.99: Permission denied

I get the same type of error when I ssh out. although I can ssh into
the box fine.
[root at highwire ~]# ssh samba.circussoftware.com
ssh: connect to host samba.circussoftware.com port 22: Permission denied


I don't think it's a local firewall but it sure seems like it:
[root at highwire ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination


Does anyone have any Idea what could be going on here?
