Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Cannot access internet from clients!
Ok, first of all, I'm in a jam and don't know how to get out. We have a linux server (slackware) and DSL. Two nics - one to DSL and one to hub. The server has no problem accessing the internet (I am currently using Lynx (ugh!) and the clients (windows) have no problem accessing the intranet, pinging the server and all that jazz but can't access the internet. It was all working fine until we needed to shut everything off earlier today and move it. Plugged everything back in and now probs. Help?! Thanks!!!

Oh ya, and I don't even know where to start. I've checked and double-checked the cables and hubs but they all look to be working. The only thing I can think of is that there's something that didn't start automatically on the server that needs to be running but not a clue what that would be. Then again, maybe it is a cable or hub or something? I think I'm going to be killed in about 1 hr (payroll needs to be sent in via Internet).

NOt really any errors. Just the stadarnd - Page cannot be displayed on the clients. Clients cannot ping any outside IP. Linux server (Gateway) can ping everything just fine.

ok, finally got it (whew!). For some reason rc.firewall wasn't starting automatically. Started it and all is well.

Thanks for listening!
