*sigh* Can not get LAN internet ready since FC3 install

[Stormblaze]

I got it working. I'd forgotten to turn ip forwarding on. Been 4 years
since I turned it on last time lol. My iptables script works. I knew
something else was up when I flushed everything and just created
default policies to ACCEPT and it still didn't.

Once ip forwarding was turned on all is well.

Gonna go to bed now. Tomorrow I tackle configuring my web server and
samba and then hopefully start getting mysql up and running.

Xwindows is fubar'd but I changed runlevel to 3 for now. I'll tackle
it later. I see that some issues with i810 are known so I'll do some
research.
