Thank you so much for the offer of help!  When I do service iptables stop 
then I can no longer  ping or traceroute outside addresses from any internal 
address.  I can still ping the router itself but not beyond it. For a 
traceroute, from a client box, with iptables stopped I get the address of my 
router and nothing beyond it. From the router itself I can still access the 
outside which is how I'm emailing.

With iptables running I can ping and get a full traced route to a 
destination such as www.google.com, from a client box, but I can only bring 
up say a small piece of the page in a browser before it times out.
Thanks again,
Jo
