Tried doing that, and tried rebooting, but still not fixed.
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.
