        Something's changing iptables. If it's not changing the
/etc/sysconfig/iptables file, then it must be changing iptables on
        the fly, after init starts iptables (which uses the
        /etc/sysconfig/iptables file). Anything in rc.local?

I think you may have found the issue. Here is what is in rc.local

        ## Bring up firewall
        /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/rc.d/firewall.ruleset

        I think that is what is causing my issue.

        Would it be okay to change the /etc/rc.d/firewall.ruleset to
        /etc/sysconfig/iptables ??

        Thanks again,
        Scott


    rc.local is used for local customization. I've no idea how what
    you have got there. I do have a firewall.ruleset file on my
    system, but it doesn't belong to any package, and I don't see
    anywhere that it's used.

    I would simply comment out what you have in rc.local, and let the
    stock settings operate as they do. Just check to be sure that
    iptables is started (# chkconfig --list iptables), and iptables
    should start normally with whatever is in your
    /etc/sysconfig/iptables file.

    You might do

Commenting out that line in rc.local seems to have done the trick. I
have this same issue on two of my QMT boxes. They were both loaded
from the QMT 5 ISO cd-rom. Might be something that needs to be checked.

Thanks again Eric!

No checking needed. The ISO contains a firewall setup and is documented
on the ISO page on the wiki:

Is there some reason that QMT-ISO doesn't use the conventional mechanism for starting iptables?


Yes.
