Hi Geoff, I thought it was your suggestion. Yes I have found that faq and done that, but it doesn't work. Firestarter works with chains or tables. I don't see what there is in ip-up that is asking for ip-chains and do not understand why it does not read the rest of the file. I have tried putting it at the front but it does not seem to like it - stalls. I notice that on the original ip-up the kinternet log gives ................ ip-up failed (return value 0xff00) Regards, David On Sun, 25 Nov 2001 18:29:48 +0000, Geoff wrote:

Gd'evening David,
Since I am the bold soul who speculated about ip-up (without knowing whether it would work or not), I have been doing a little hunting around.
You may have read it already, but on the Firestarter homepage there is a FAQ, which contains the following :
Q: Firestarter is blocking all my traffic. How come nothing works? A: Three possible causes: 1. <snip> 2. You're on a modem connection and started the firewall before dialing out. Restart the firewall after connecting to your ISP. There is an button in the wizard that will automate this. 3. <snip>
It occurs to me that this may explain the problems with Netscape and Konqueror. If that is right then, have you tried the alleged button in the wizard? There is not much point in trying to finesse the loading of Firestarter in ip-up (eg by including an insmod for ipchains), if this is the real problem.
Sorry if you have already tried the above.
Geoff
