Apparently some issues with > 1.2.6 and the 2.4.18 as the iptables had bugging turned on by default. I know you are using 1.2.6, however I would download the latest version and compile it too see if this fixes it. Is the source you are talking about from the install cd-rom or a newer download. If not from cd-rom, back to the monitor throwing.:)
