Problems Pinging the Internet w/this script

[Jesse <marshall28@juno.com>]

Here's a script I'm using to create some tables which will only allow in 
on ports I'm running services. One of the problems I'm havng is that I 
can't ping the Internet with a DNS address from this machine. I've 
allowed everything in the OUTPUT table and can ping the Internet when 
using a straight IP, but when I type in "ping google.com" the machine 
hangs for a few seconds and gives me a server request error. I know it's 
something with my rules because when I flush them all I can ping 
google.com just fine. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm 
guessing it's something trivial but can't put my finger on it yet.

thanks
