Thanks. I thought this might be the way. There are many references to  
running firewall scripts in linux google, though it's funny, I couldn't  
find any that were pertinent to FC3. In one tutorial I found, the "service  
iptables save" command was used, and it seemed quite simple. I couldn't  
figure out why this wasn't the best way to do it, but I found no other  
mention of using it. Now, if I could just figure out where the block is  
between my Lan and my Wan ---
