need help getting ipchains goin'
If you have a 2.4 kernel, ipchains is obsolete -- iptables is much

README says kernel needs to be compiled with CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL or CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL_CHAINS set to 'y'. Verify by checking for the existence of /proc/net/ip_fwchains. I checked and no such file exists. Is this a simple matter of downloading a module and using insmod or what?<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
