Jon,
To my knowledge you can't compile 2.4 with ipchains support. I've tried a
few times and stopped trying. This kernel employs a new type of filtering
called "iptables" instead of ipchains. I've heard that it's a better type
of packet filtering although I haven't yet started to figure out how it
works. (other more pressing problems at the moment) There does seem to be
quite a bit of documentation on the net about iptables though.
