What do you mean by "it's not working"?
If you do
$iptables -L
what do you see?

What are you expecting to see? Is the 'Active' status showing it is
'disabled" or what?

I just tested the version I am running, 1.0.1-1, and
/etc/init.d/firestarter start does start the firewall and
/etc/init.d/firestarter status does say it is up and
iptables -L does display the firewall rules.
I do notice one bug tho, I have a script in /etc/ppp/ip-dowd.d to
stop the firewall and it does, as shown the /etc/init.d/firestarter
status script but the GUI status indicator still says it is active.
As a Jedi you should remember that you have to explain the problem in
more detail to us mere mortals. :-)
