    I was _trying_ to, but by the looks of it I may as well forget about
that idea.

    ...and I am - it's a cleanly installed system, everything's being
redone from scratch.

    Okay, I have no problem in learning to use whatever is best with this
kernel version, however considering I have half a lab that's currently
without a gateway, it puts me in a tight spot.  I need to get these folks
back up and running ASAP.  They're all sitting on a 10.2.1.0/24 network (on
eth1) and previously I used ipchains to setup a firewall between the net
(eth0) and them.

    I don't know anything 'bout iptables, nor how to get it up and running
properly and doing what I need it to be doing.
