Okay, thanks for this. It's beginning to make sense now.

But on my SysVInit I see that at my default run level (and all the others for 
that matter) I am attempting to launch ipv6tables iptables and ipchains all 
at the same level of priority. Presumably this is a mistake?

Which should I want to use? And if ipchains is running now, do I want to 
change it?

And what does firewall-config actually configure in this case? Chains or 
tables? Sorry, I know this pretty much red hat specific - but I think my 
problem is that my first ever Linux system was a RH 7.1, which I bought just 
when it came out, and then I bought a RH 7[.0] book to tell me how to fiddle 
with it - I didn't understand things like kernel series a year ago :-<
