So that when I have my internet connection up, other hosts out there
cannot connect to my machine, only the ones on my local net. The next
line that says hosts allow ... lets in the machines on my local net. Am
I misunderstanding this? At any rate, this is exactly how I had it
before I upgraded and it worked.

Hmm... I think so, but I haven't done much with the firewall since I
installed, just left it with the defaults.  Let me open it up wide and
see what happens...

Oh yes! That worked.  Thank you very much! I should have thought about
the firewall. I set eth0 to be a trusted device and the security level
at High, so I should be pretty well set now.

Thanks again.
