Actually, I had it working with the enclosed script, until I generated /etc/sysconfig/iptables using /sbin/service iptables save.
After I tried to get things to spin up at boot time it quit working...not sure what I did.
I erased my tracks, can still ping and set the net before loading iptables. Afterwords, I can't even ping the 192.168.1.1 interface on the same machine!
Anyway, jason, antony, dick, a lot of you have been very helpful. Thank you so much for your continued help and patience.
It is starting to make sense, but I still don't get it. I'm also in processing of up2dating my linux. maybe that will help.
fwscript is the script I'm using (from Jason with slight mods). I run it after I connect ppp0 and get an ip from my isp, before running dhcpd. stillnowork is the output of iptables-save.
Like I said, it worked until I tried to get it to start at boot time.
Thanks,
Sam
