Well, thats it.  I have no idea what is wrong.

I am running a Red Hat 7.1 linux box as a gateway to the internet.  I used 
the "Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO, David A. Ranch" pretty much verbatim.  Red 
Hat 7.1 uses a 2.4.2-2 kernel.  I am using "iptables" to perform the 
masquerading.

Anyhow, my "netstat -rn" routing tables look good.  My "rc.firewall" script 
works fine.  "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" is 1.  All the modules I need 
load fine.

>From a machines on my intranet, I can ping both internal and external 
addresses of the linux box.  But I cannot talk to machines outside of our 
network (aka internet...tried pinging ftp.cdrom.com, doesn't work).

Before I started using the iptables, I had an ipchains firewall running.  I 
simply stoped ipchains, then unloaded the ipchains module.  I then loaded 
all the modules needed to run NAT and setup the iptables rules.  Still not 
working...  I'm at the end of my rope.

Thanks any help,  Fats
