so how exactly would it look in the interfaces file. here is mine:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#iptables loaded here:
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/firewall-rules


# static setup
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
dns-nameservers  4.2.2.3 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 4.2.2.2 192.168.10.1
gateway 192.168.10.1


did I put that iptables entry in? I don't remember.. should it be there?
