You may be having trouble finding ipchains options because you asked to have iptables/netfilter in the kernel instead of a module. Only one of the two, ipchains or netfilter, can be directly compiled into the kernel. If you want them both to play with, you need to compile them as modules. Hope that helps.

I believe there is a version of the SuSEfirewall that works with iptables. If you want to use ipchains then you can insmod the ipchains module for 2.4.X and it should work fine..I use ipchains mainly because for now it suites my needs and I don't know iptables.

The module is here:

/lib/modules/2.4.4-4GB/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipchains.o

Thanks Ben. I'll took at it when I get home. I didn't see anything in the kernel config that would set CONFIG_IP_NF_COMPAT_IPCHAINS in .config. The error on boot up is that with a 2.4 kernel this must be set in kernel. All I saw was iptable stuff. No compatability option. Obiously I messed it. Or maybe I have the wrong SuSEfirewall (SuSEfirewall-4.3-3)??
