Iptables/Forwarding Problem

[kbb0927@cs.com]

Matt,

Thwe problem self corrected with time. By the time I got home that evening
it was working like usual. A few days later, the hub died. So I assume it
was a flaky hub. I have put back my old hub/switch and no issues. The hub
that died was one I bought from a second-hand store. Dunno if this was the
issue or not, at any rate I'm back in business.

Best Regards,

Keith B. in No. Virginia
