I get no more log errors but 'ipchains -nL' still shows nothing. Even more weird now is that my gateway machine's eth1 for LAN can no longer ping the other LAN machines, and vice-versa. However, The LAN machines can ping each other (not the gateway) but cannot access the internet via eth0 (since it can't go through eth1). I dread the possibility of having to re-install all over again for the third time :( ... still searching for an answer. Thanks... Dan.
