Well, In my original message about this, I pasted an output of an error
I got when I would run iptables. It has something to do with modules. 

Also, the reason I was going to try iptables is when I try to MASQ with
ipchains, there seems to be a "Buffer" that fills up after a day or so
that causes my external nic to lose connection with my ISP (I have DSL
and a Cisco 678 router). So I thought that ipchains was "Depreciating"
with the new Kernel and would not handle the load anymore. If there is
some other problem, any input would help. 

A Little back round:

I'm running 2 Red Hat supported NIC's. Internet side nic is a 10 and the
Network side is a 100. I'm running the latest SMP kernel from RHN.
Again, after about a day or so of GREAT performance, the external NIC
seems to "Bog" down. I will be able to ping another host on the Internet
and get a 105 ms reply. Then, after some usage, the ping will go up to
200, then 600, then into the thousands. Eventually, I actually lose WAN
connection. I have to do a /etc/init.d/network restart for it to go back
to normal. I guess I can create a cron job to do that nightly...

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Joe
