[expert] need to reinstall?

There are still some apps and configs that won't work in 8.1. I tried to 
change the SCSI adapter in Harddrake to the correct model number but the 
change did not occur. And I can't get internet connection sharing working 
even though it shows enabled and the clients are getting addresses from the 
DHCP server. And I can ping the LAN address of the server from the client but 
I can't ping the gateway or the IP address of the wireless card (for my 
wireless Internet - not intranet) or any web addresses. The config looks the 
same as it did for 7.2 Anyway, I've had to go in and manually change a lot of 
stuff to make it work. I'd really hate to have to wipe everything out and 
start over with a fresh install. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to 
get away from Windows. 

Any comments?

As root, remove the file '/etc/sysconfig/iptables' and reboot.  This has
been fixed, and hopefully an update will be released soon.
