Thanks John. That certainly is needed but I had checked the box in the
control panel to enable ip forwarding.  The commands above work a treat so
now I am just reading up on IP Chains so as to make the firewall a bit more
secure. (Thanks Anthony !!!!)

The only issue I have know is getting samba printing to work under RH 6.0.
Basically I rebuilt my machine from scratch (keeping copies of important
files on another disk). I then recopied my smb.conf across and set-up a new
printcap file. The only change was that my new printcap file pointed to lp0
rather than lp1 (I believe this is because of kernel changes that make
things more tidy/consistent).  I can print both ascii and postscript tests
from the print config tool on the Linux box but when I try to do the same
thing from the windows box the job just disappears and I get no response
from the printer.  I have included a copy of my printcap file and relevant
detail from smb.conf though they look correct to me.

Am I missing something obvious here ???? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
