And "resetting the iptables" should lead to the free flow of traffic in either 
direction, right?  I tried running the loop you mentioned, and still no 
outgoing connections work (not even DNS lookups).  My nameservers are listed 
in /etc/resolv.conf correctly.

"iptables -L" still lists no rules, my connection still doesn't work until I 
restart firestarter.
