Sounds like this may be a good guess. I installed a second FC3 system, and
I'm not having that problem at all. Everything is working just fine on the
second system, including the default iptables installation. I really can't
figure out why it works on one machine, but not the other...

I'll try a fresh install and see what happens.


Thanks again for the advice.


Cheers,
Dave
