OMG! Thank you so much for that piece of information. Nowhere else but this list could I find any reason to suspect ipchains was not fully supported anymore. Especially since the redhat 7.2 install default firewall uses ipchains rules. I knew iptables existed alongside ipchains for some time and I thought they basically did the same thing. I stuck with what I knew, ipchains, thinking iptables would have the same problem with GRE packets.
I appreciate your time and the sharing of your knowledge on this topic. I apologize to everyone if I appeared to be a pain in the butt about getting a clue. After all the web and usenet archive searching I have done since last thursday morning, I was at the point of being really frustrated. I thought it was better to "back-off" and ask for another list to pose my question. No matter how I worded that question, I was doomed to be received negatively. I thought about using the word "quality" list over "knowledgable" but, Knowledge is what I am seeking. I am off work today, so I am going now to read the documentation (man pages, websites, etc;) on how to make iptables do what I was doing in RH 7.0 with ipchains. Geesh, Mr. Hal Burgiss, To think I asked you to go back to sleep. <shinji smacks his own forehead in self-disgust> I judged you wrong by your initial response, to read a faq about "how to search on my own and ask questions" and I apologize.
