Eric,
What do you get with "route -n" on each of the boxes? They should all
have the same route set up to access the LAN.
I'm not familiar with the new IProute rpm you installed, but it sounds to
me like when you rebooted, your routing tables were rewritten, and that
this is what knocked you off the LAN. IP forwarding isn't going to work
whether it's installed properly or not until the other boxes on the LAN
can access your firewall box through the LAN.
If all the boxes on your LAN are on the same subnet you don't need to
define the path to each individual machine. One network "catch-all" will
take care of that.
Check the routing on one of your other LAN boxes that is able to ping to
the other LAN boxes, and make sure it has the same broadcast address and
netmask as what you're showing for eth0 on the firewall box. If not, then
you need to change it on the firewall box to match the others or they
won't be able to communicate. This is what you're showing on the firewall
box:
inet addr:192.168.5.5 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
