This takes a restart from scratch!

My base Network setup was a wired Network which got it's DHCP from a Linksys 
Wireless gateway.  The WAN connection to the Linksys was through a Fedora 14 
Server.

I have two Servers both of which have a Fixed Routeable address from my ISP.  I 
was working just fine with my below described Firewall setup until I tried to 
connect a DirectTV HD DVR via the Network.  This is when I found the blocked 
Port problem as described below.

The first reply I got asked what system-config-firewall showed, it seemed like 
a reasonable question so I ran the program.  I looked and the program had 
nothing about the ports in question so I closed it!

Immediately thereafter I could get nothing through the Server out to the 
Internet!  I can ping to the output address of the Linksys but, nothing further 
from inside the house.  I can access the Internet from the server but not from 
behind it.  It seems the problem has just gotten worse and I have no idea how.

ip route shows a valid routing from the interior facing port to the exterior 
facing port but, nothing seems to pass.

I am for sure in over my head here!
