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?. Thank you.

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.
