Hmm <Idea> what does /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward show?  </Idea>

hould have a 1

with the gw settings for each host I wonder if basically each packet gets
forwarded rather thatn just spit out the interface of the network?

No joy?

What are the ipchains rules?  I would start with the following:

Bring down the ppp connection since the problem seems to be internal.  This
looks like that is the way you started with us.

then to get a packet count:
ifconfig eth0 > /tmp/ifconfig.out
ping -c 5 spanky (wife's machine? Never mind I don't REALLY want to know :)
ping -c 5 burp
ifconfig eth0 >> /tmp/ifconfig.out

less /tmp/ifconfig.out

are the tx and or recive packets incremented?

Then I would look at the ipchains rules

ipchains -vL
anything weird?  If so or probably etherway save the output for later:

ipchains -vL >/tmp/ipchians.out

now clear the rules:
ipchains -F input
ipchains -P input ACCEPT

ipchains -F output
ipchains -P output ACCEPT

ipchains -F forward
ipchains -P forward ACCEPT

now try pinging:

any difference?
