LinuxQuestions.org - Iptables isn't allowing any outgoing connections

I have a vps which is on an openvz system and it's running centos 5.3 fully patched. Iptables is setup for used in the VEs and I'm not exceeding numiptent. I'm using the iptables rules found at http://www.groovygrails.de/blog/groo...our_vps_with_a
which seems to be exactly what I want. When I have it loaded websites, email, ftp, ssh everything works. From my understanding of the script it should allow all outgoing connections. The problem comes when I ssh in I can't get any outgoing connections, no dns lookups, no ftp, no http, yum doesn't work (can't resolve), no pings no traceroutes, nothing. If I disable iptables I have outgoing connections so I think that's where the problem lays.

This is the ouput from iptables -L with it loaded:

Code:

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

I've been reading man pages and websites but I can't find a reason for this to be happening. I'd welcome any solutions or if anyone has any ideas that I can use to troubleshoot.

Thanks
