I got it working. I'd forgotten to turn ip forwarding on. Been 4 years since I turned it on last time lol. My iptables script works. I knew something else was up when I flushed everything and just created default policies to ACCEPT and it still didn't. Once ip forwarding was turned on all is well. Gonna go to bed now. Tomorrow I tackle configuring my web server and samba and then hopefully start getting mysql up and running. Xwindows is fubar'd but I changed runlevel to 3 for now. I'll tackle it later. I see that some issues with i810 are known so I'll do some research.
