Oh... sorry about that. Sometimes I just forget that
I'm a Jedi... :)
Anyway, whenever I get connected to my ISP, I get the
message that the ip-up script has started and a little
while later, that it has finished. However, If I check
iptables -L, there's no rules at all. And
/etc/init.d/firestarter status tells me it's stopped.
The firestarter GUI status is stopped too. So I have
to start it manually every time I get connected. It
seems that the ip-up script is not being run correctly
by pppd, but I just don't know what could be wrong
with it. The funny thing is that if I run
/etc/ppp/ip-up manually after the connection is made
it works perfectly.

May the force be with you.
