Well...I figured it out. On a suggestion, I re-checked to see that I'd opened up the firewall stuff. I'd built a kernel with it enabled to play around some and I DID have the allow line uncommented in my /etc/rc.firewall. However, I hadn't turned on the firewall processing stuff by way of the /etc/sysconfig setting. After I set it to YES and rebooted, everything started behaving again. I just knew that these symptoms looked familiar (I ran into the same sort of thing when I moved to 2.1.5R from 2.1.0R). Ah well...
