If Comp B can ping Comp A, and Comp A can ping ISP, it stands to reason
that Comp B can ping ISP, UNLESS Comp A is preventing it.

I looked at your firewall script from Tue, 27 Aug 2002 08:52:00, and I
see nothing that prevents Comp B from pinging ISP.  

When connected to your ISP, do these and post the results:
loran:/home/clay # route -n
eric:/home/clay # route -n
loran:/home/clay # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
