Should I remove ipchains?
Their tech support is saying:
Because you are running Debian, we are not able to provide tech support
for this issue. I recommend checking your rules you have setup for IPFW or
if your using IPchains or IPtables. You may want to try looking through
our forums. Our forums have a lot of information.
But I'm not sure what to do with that information (and seeing as I don't
know what to do with it, I'm pretty sure I haven't set something up
incorrectly). Of course I've been known to be wrong before. :)
