Actually, iptables works with it built-in to the kernel also. Ya just have to follow the build. I.e, install the kernel source, then install iptables, do a make mrproper, make xconfig(whatever), make dep, make bzImage, copy to /boot, edit lilo.conf, run /sbin/ lilo, make modules, make modules_install, copy over System.map. If you can't get the above sections, go to http://linuxnewbie.org and read. (actually, it's more detailed than that, but I'm a tad lazy tonight.;) Dana -- I used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead.
