Got it fixed --- t'was RH's default firewall rules, would not let anyone out from the inside. I disabled that one and put David Ranch's in there, that one works --- I hope --- I am now able to have my wife and kids back on their win boxen and they will be happy! Seriously, I ran that firewall for well over a year and as far as I could tell I have not had a problem, knock on wood. Well, on to download chkrootkit and assorted other security goodies. Thanks for the help, it's appreciated.
