Basically, you just need to compile a 2.4 kernel. When you do a make menuconfig it will give you a whole heap of options for netfilter. I just selected all of them as modules (ip_conntrack, ipt_REJECT, ipt_LOG etc etc.) Then you just need to apt-get install iptables from "unstable" source. Once you have that then you just need a firewall script just like for ipchains. Except the iptables scripts are easier to write and debug. Here is a discussion of new features with iptables: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=21&t=001584 And here is a few example firewall scripts: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=21&t=001582 cheers.
