Where to begin? First, thanks for the help.
I definitely agree, the setup is weird, and even (especially) I, don't
know how it actually works, but it does. The actual 192.168.0.x network
is peer-to-peer rather than client-server, as it's original purposes
were for experimentation and experience, intranet-gaming, and most of
all, controlled internet access for my 3 children (2 special needs among
them - if I want them off the clients, i shut down ICS). I added the rh
box even before the LEAF, and have it set up as a Samba server to allow
more storage space for my (ahem, lol) "users". Within my intranet, and
because I have ICS set up, I cannot set any of the ICS client machines
to static IP's - though allowing pinging and even the running of
Trillian (w/AOL IM accounts), the ICS clients cannot browse the internet
w/o being set up dynamically (the only machines set up w/static ip's on
the 192.168.0.x network are the WinME and the Red Hat boxes, and I have
no problems browsing w/the WinME box while the connected to the LEAF).

The reason I'm pursuing internet connectivity on the rh box is that I'm
now examining the idea of using the rh box as a small, internet-facing
ftp server, with the LEAF as the firewall. I thought I had turned the
firewall off on the rh box during a previous re-install, but with your
suggestions, I got the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# ipchains -nvL
ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 53612 packets, 4819K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 51850 packets, 4379K bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source
destination
As far as the routing table on the rh box, it seems that the LEAF is
listed as the default GW:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# ip route show
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 scope link
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 scope link
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# route

Charles, here are the results of the rh box's ifcfg file searches; note
that eth1 rather than eth0 is pointing at the LEAF:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.4
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
[EMAIL PROTECTED] network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.200
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
In looking at all this info, I'm guessing rather blindly that the issue
is going to be the firewall settings on the rh box......
One last note: I have X access to the rh box via Exceed, which allows me
to run Mozilla on the rh box from my WinMe box.
Hope this helps more than confuses, and again want to relay my
appreciation for the help.
