Host unreachable

I have inherited a Sun Ultra-1, running sunOS 5.8
While on this machine, I cannot ping www.yahoo.com
I cannot ping this machine from withing our lan.
I do not have an static IP for this machine and used
Iconfig hme0 auto-dhcp start.
All is well,
It seems to me that the previous owner, configured this machine to:
1) do not allow any connections to this host from outside
2) do not allow connection from this host to outside.

I do not know what he may have done and need hints in where to look.
Regards,
Defense

Check /etc/hosts.allow, output of netstat -nr, ifconfig -a. Use snoop to see if your server 'sees' any traffic.

Check out the dhcp troubleshooting guide
