Yeah, actually the first time I typed the ipchains command yesterday it asked
me to use echo 1> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward. It didn't a week ago but
when I'd use cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward it would list 1 already.
The DrakConf radio button said "Firewall Daemon" and I clicked it to active and
that was it.
My netstat -rn looks like this right now with everything working:
Kernel IP routing table
