Thanks Charles. It is now working but I couldn't get it to work as stated. 
I'm not sure what was not right and it could very well be with my lack of 
understanding.

What I had to put in was:
$IPCH -A forward -j ACCEPT -s 172.16.40.0/255.255.255.0 -d 
172.16.50.0/255.255.255.0 -b

The "ALLOW" told me "ipchains: No target by that name". ACCEPT worked 
based on the default D-CD v1.0.2. Where does this ALLOW target come from? 
I'm pretty fuzzy on the whole "target" issue.

Secondly, the mask specified as /24 didn't appear to work, but as 
255.255.255.0 which should resolve to the same thing, worked fine. I never 
did try to troubleshoot this aspect because I was just happy I had 
accomplished this much before retiring for the night.

BTW: Thanks again for the excellent work you and other contributers have 
put forth for the greater good.

My personal wish list, and if time permits I would like to assist, is to 
include ez-ipupdate and auto-update from the dhcp scripts when the lease 
renegotiates.

The only "Windows" this software came close to had an "X" in front of it.
