Hi again Greg,
I added the line to start the firewall in the ip-up file and it's starting
fine now. I don't know why it wouldn't start with the line in
ip-up.local. the only thing I could come up with was that it wasn't
getting read by the shell script. maybe it wasn't being referenced
correctly...don't know for sure.
thanks again for the help.
