[Techtalk] Late night firewall fun :)

I setup my firewall (public, dmz, private).

Right now, I'm trying to get private network workstations to NAT off to
the internet.  And it is extremely weird.

I can ping out from a workstation.
I can go on AIM from a workstation.
I can send/receive email from a workstation.

No web access however.  Tried multiple sites.  DNS resolution IS
working.  I can ping www.google.com from this machine.  I CANNOT go to
it via a web browser however.  And running lynx on the firewall machine
works.

Any clues off the top of your collective heads?

I can post my rc.firewall upon request.

Another oddbit: everytime I run rc.firewall, I get an "Operation
failed."  Everything (well, except web) Nothing in showing up in any
logs I see to allude to why (kern.log, syslog, messages).

Please also cc: also replies to james106 at optonline.net.  I haven't setup
my email server yet, so nothing to james-web.net will work.

Thanks,
James
