It would be a good idea to put a call to start the firewall

the firewall is (re)started each time the connection is
(re)established.
     

Do I just put "/etc/init.d/firewall start" without the quotes in the
if-up or is there any certain way that it needs to be worded?
   

I'm not too familiar with ppp configurations, but I believe that should
work fine.
 

Just found out that I didn't have to use anything. I disconnected for a 
phone call. Then did a reboot. The firewall started just fine during the 
reboot. I connected to the internet and the Windows machine was still 
able to connect.

Thanks so much for all your help and for creating the firewall. I didn't 
like the Shorewall firewall that Mandrake internet sharing wizard kept 
insisting on using. Hopefully, I can help someone else because of what 
I've been through.
