Firewall problem

[Christopher Fury <cfury@bev.net>]

I'm trying to setup a local lan at my house with a firewall to allow
access to the outside world.  I've followed the Firewall-FAQ and I 
can't seem to see what I've done wrong...  Maybe somebody can tell me.  
I'm running  Debian 2.0.

I have the following network options set in my kernel:

  x x [*] Network firewalls  
  x x [ ] Network aliasing
  x x [*] TCP/IP networking                                       
  x x [ ] IP: forwarding/gatewaying                            
  x x [ ] IP: multicasting                                  
  x x [ ] IP: syn cookies                                  
  x x [*] IP: firewalling                            
  x x [*] IP: firewall packet logging        
  x x [ ] IP: masquerading                 
  x x [ ] IP: always defragment                         
  x x [*] IP: accounting                             
  x x [ ] IP: optimize as router not host               
  x x < > IP: tunneling                      
  x x --- (it is safe to leave these untouched)             
  x x [ ] IP: PC/TCP compatibility mode                        
  x x < > IP: Reverse ARP                                      
  x x [ ] IP: Disable Path MTU Discovery (normally enabled)   
  x x [*] IP: Drop source routed frames                    
  x x [*] IP: Allow large windows (not recommended if <16Mb of memory)

when I try to ping something inside my network, the hub registers the
data... but none of the packets seem to get through to the other
machine.  
Same thing happens when I ping from a machine inside my network to the 
firewall.

Do I have to set IP forwarding/gateway?  I notice the NET-3 howto says
something about that, but the Firewall-HOWTO says to leave it off unless 
you want IP-Filtering.  I think I'm just going to be using SOCKS.
