Checkpoint Blocking Solaris

I have already checked the archive and Google.

My security folks installed a Checkpoint firewall on Nokia hardware this
weekend, and now my desktop Solaris 9 box can no longer get to URLs on the
other side of that firewall. It can, however, get to IP addresses on the
other side of the firewall. This means that I can't browse to www.sun.com,
or ftp to ftp.sun.com, but I can browse to 209.249.116.195 or ftp to
192.18.99.146. Unfortunately, most web sites don't work that way. My
security folks seem to have no idea how to fix this, but one of them
thought there was a Checkpoint glitch involving Solaris boxes. So, anyone
solve this one?
