Yup. I did some more flushing, and the problem went away! Thank you,
thank you!

No, I'd like to take advantage of the new features of the 2.4.x kernels
and ipchains. My previous firewall was one I downloaded from the
TrinityOS sight, changed a few things to suit my setup, and pretty much
accepted its security on blind faith.
With 2.4.x/iptables, I thought I should really take the time to learn how
to make a good firewall, and to actually know what's going on. I'm still
learning, as you can tell :)

I might subscribe to that just to lurk around for a while, and hopefully
learn some more about what I'm doing/what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again for all your help!
