Hi,
When I try to run either 'route' or 'iptables' I get a 'command not found' error message. When I go to the sbin directory and try it there I get the same error message. When I open both "route' and 'iptables' in vi I see a bunch of weird symbols???????. The /etc/hosts file seems to be OK, with both localhost and my domain listed.

route and iptables are binaries, no text files. Log in as root correctly! Either on console directly as root, or become root using su with the proper command "su -" (see man su). Having not root login shell but only a shell and you change directory to /sbin you have to run the command with a leading ./ like ./route.
