Hello:

I have a problem with ipfwadm, because when I try to insert a rule an error message appears, the messages is:

ipfwadm: setsockopt failed: protocol not available

I know that the ip_forwarding is enable, and ip_firewalling too, what is the problem?.

My GUESS is that your kernel doesn't use ipfwadm any more, but ipchains. I am running SuSE 6.2 and use ipchains. ipchains has replaced ipfwadm.
