You are aware, naturally, that ipchains doesn't work properly on a 2.4

can't leave anything alone, so they rewrite the whole firewalling
subsystem with every new kernel release :(

That makes sense, although surely eth0 will be connected to your cable
modem?

something else; and, (2) death is a bunch of blue spheres.
