Thanks for the response. Actually what I'm doing is setting up a RH 7.3 
desktop to act as the access point to talk to a laptop. At this point I can 
ping it fine from the laptop and I can ping the wired interface on the same 
RH 7.3 box, but I can't ping anything else in my network. I usually have 
this problem when I'm building a firewall and there's usually one thing I 
need to add like a default route or something is wrong with my gateway 
settings. So, I'm researching on line and in some books to see what the 
problem is. Any ideas?

Thanks,
