First, and hopefully most obvious question: is iptables installed?

No.

A P1-166 isn't that slow - I used to marvel at how fast one of those
things was :)

What I usually do it make a kernel for the lowest common denominator (for
the P166) with the features each computer needs *at boot time* to get the
root fs, and take care of everything else with loadable modules.

I usually copy over the bzImage, and make a tar of
/lib/modules/<kernelversion>, copy the tar to the other computer, and
extract the modules in the right place..
