  Files in that directory are executed by 'run-parts'.  That
 has some restrictions upon the filenames you may use.  See
 'man run-parts' for details.

  My suggestion:

   1. Name the script 'firewall'.
   2. Make sure it is executable.
   3. Make sure your firewall is flushed/off.
   4. Run /etc/init.d/networking restart, or reboot.
   5. Now list rules.
