A few more details are required here Tim:
1) is the linux box the firewall itself?
2) what is your connection map ...i.e. DSL router to linux box to internal
net with connection through router etc.
3) given the "no route to host" error how/what are you using for DNS?
4) what if any rules are in your firewall script?
