    To clarify (sorry, I guess I was a bit vague).

    Weather or not I have IP Forwarding turned on, I can't ping the
    internal network. The box is configured as follows:

    eth0 connected to DSL modem. Works fine for web surfing.
    eth1 connected to internal network via switch. (192.168.2.1)

     From the Redhat machine I can not ping any host on the internal network
    (192.168.2.[2-53]). From any host on the internal network I can not
    ping the Redhat machine.

    If I remove the Redhat machine from the network and plug the old router
    back in, life is good and all the hosts on the network can ping it and
    surf the web. I know the issue is configuration with the RH box, not a
    connectivity problem.

    BTW, the old router was 192.168.2.1 and it was physically removed and
    replaced with the RH machine which now has the same IP address
    (192.168.2.1) as the old router did (so we don't have to reconfigure
    the whole internal network).

    If you need more details, just ask; sorry I was vague before.

    Thanks,

    -brian
