Hi Bob!
To run ipchains you must compile kernel 2.4.x for it, since I think it's not
in it by default. But as Keary points out, iptables is there, you only need
the 'iptables command package' which can be found at
http://www.samba.org/netfilter and is easily installed. After installation
try 'modprobe iptable_nat', which should automagically load most of the
needed iptables modules ( if the kernel is compiled for it ).
Regards,
Ake Svensson
