Firewall problem: Only works on a restart.

[Steven W. Orr]

I'm running fiaif-1.21.1-0.1.noarch

I have a minor mystery and I don't know how to debug it.

I have two computers in the house. Machine A has two NICS, one of which is
hooked to the cable modem and sees the outside world. Also, Machine A
implements the IPTABLES firewall with NAT. Machine B and Machine A's 2nd NIC
are hooked up to a little hub. Ever since I upgraded to F10, I notice that
Machine B can't see the outside world unless I restart the firewall. And just
to make it interesting,

Machine A: Fedora 10, 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686, eth0 is running dhclient,
eth1 is a static address.

Machine B: (not that it matters) is F8

Diff of iptables before and after is the same.
Diff of lsmod before and after is the same.
eth1 is connected to the hub and is brought up at boot.
I put a copy of my firewall at http://steveo.syslang.net/ipt.txt

After a fresh boot, Machine B can't see the outside but can see A. Also, A
can see B. Then a restart of the firewall causes B to be able to see the
outside world.

I am not using NetwortManager for either nics. This is a server, not a
laptop.

Any ideas?

TIA
