Thanks for your reply. Are you suggesting that I should install a new firewall on my PC? Since I'm very new to linux I would rather not install any additional software. If at all possible I'd like to solve my problem with things I have installed on my PC so far (which includes software from the Red Hat installation DCs only).

Yes. I set that to 1 before. It still doesn't let any traffic through.
I would be glad to give info about my configuration but I have no idea what I should post.
My ifconfig output looks line this:

eth0 is my local network while eth1 is connected to ADSL. Ask me to put output of files if that can help.
Thanks.
