Hi Clay,

First off, why did you put "nameserver 192.168.0.2" on comp B?

Second, in your message dated 08/30/02 12:19, you could ping the outside
world.  Today's message indicates you cannot.  Did you change something
on comp A since then WRT the firewall or port-forwarding?  Perform the
same test just to be sure:
	eric:~ # ping -c 4 64.24.210.88
	PING 64.24.210.88 (64.24.210.88) from 192.168.0.2 : 56(84) bytes of
data.
	64 bytes from 64.24.210.88: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.216 ms
	64 bytes from 64.24.210.88: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.193 ms
	64 bytes from 64.24.210.88: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.192 ms
	64 bytes from 64.24.210.88: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.197 ms

Then follow it up with a ping -c 4 yahoo.com.  It is not unusual for an
ISP to block ICMP (which is the protocol ping uses), so tour ping of
216.126.136.250 may not really mean anything.  The nslookup yahoo.com
worries me though.
