Thanks, Nate. You're right about the kernel. I'll try what you suggest.

Any reasons why any of this would have CHANGED? It's been working fine for a few years.

Thanks again.

check to be sure ip_forwarding is enabled

redhat 6.2 I think comes stock with 2.2.x kernel, so

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

if it says 0 then:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

also check your firewall rules:

ipchains -L -n

if all else fails run tcpdump and see what it says(this usually requires
a good deal of knowledge to understand the output)
