Thanks for the reply.
I have removed ipchains from the server.
When I do a "lsmod" I see, among other entries, iptable_filter and iptables. Ipchains is not there.
When I do a "dig", it errors-out with nothing to find. I'm able to ping both of my dns machines though. However, I cannot ping outside my network whether with IP or FQDN.
Here's another twist:
I have a couple users that connect via ftp to up/down files. I checked the logs and see that they were able to connect. I'm not able to connect at all. Maybe they are using an ftp client that allows a longer timeout?

This is the standard error one gets when iptables is loaded *after*
ipchains is also loaded. As root, do:
/sbin/service ipchains stop
/sbin/chkconfig --del ipchains
/sbin/modprobe -r ipchains
then try your iptables stuff again. Since you have experience with
iptables on another server, I doubt that you would make this newbie
blunder...but never hurts to be sure.
