Your firewall is not working perfectly without complaints. There are 14
rules which are not instituted. This error is a result of invalid network
masks in the ipchains ruleset. Take a look at the firewall generated by
the firestarter gui, look for a network specification that looks like
192.168.0.0/ or something odd after the slash. Or check to see that
anywhere you have specifed a network address that you have used a properl
netmask. The next thing you'd want to do is let the folks who write
firestarter about this problem. They will be able to help, and if this
is a failing of the interface, definitely need to know about it.
