OK, lets not, the firewall has a complicated Firewall on it, and
you would never be able to read thru all of it.  Rather lets 
ping another machine on this subnet, my 'main' machine, deneb
at 192.168.64.17 .

ping 192.168.64.17 

[root at mythtv-fe VPN]# ping 192.168.64.17
PING 192.168.64.17 (192.168.64.17) 56(84) bytes of data.
    (several second pause)
>From 192.168.64.99 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
>From 192.168.64.99 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
>From 192.168.64.99 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable

and the

cat /etc/resolv.conf

[root at mythtv-fe VPN]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.64.10
search dwf.com

and the list of the Firewall

iptables -n -L -v

[root at deneb ntpd]# /sbin/iptables -n -L -v
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.4.3.1: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do 
you need to insmod?
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.


so, no firewall, no iptables, no output of interest.

I guess I just dont understand how others (it would appear) have networking
when they bring Fedora14 up, and I dont.  I can reinstall a 3rd (or is it 4th 
time)
but all I have done after the install is to try setting up networking, using 
either
system-config-network, or by hand editing network and ifcfg-eth0 and nada,
nothing.  And yes, by this time Ive turned off NetworkManager, and the Firewall
and selinux.

Mumph.

Its got to be something real simple, but Im not seeing it.
