I can see the internet fine outbound and I can ping and ssh to any box
on the internal network from the outside. I can also see my webpage.
Buth there are two things I can't nail down.
1. There's a link on the webpage that goes to a .htaccess protected
folder. From the internal network I can click that link, answer the
auth user and password and I can get to the content of the folder.
From the internet I can get the webpage but when I click the link it
just sits there, never sending me the .htaccess auth box. What
protocol or port is involved in this? The DSL router is set to allow
ssh and http requests in and any traffic out (I'll double check this
last statement.)
And,
2. Concurrent with the installation of the firewall but possibly just
a coincidence, I can no longer print from any host on the internal
network to an HP laserjet4 with a jetdirect card. I can ping it. I'm
under the impression the print job goes directly from a host on the
internal network through the switch and to the printer without ever
having to be passed through the firewall's ruleset. If that is indeed
the case then the jetdirect card has died and I'll borrow one from
work to check this theory out. Would a setup as described above
include the firewall in host-to-host packets?

Fixed, FWIW. And yes, I'm a bonehead.
