A couple of things are happening. First, it seems that your Dach box is not obtaining a proper address from your ISP. If your address used to be 24.116.x.x, you should be seeing something similar now. Since it is getting assigned a 10.x.x.x address, the ipfilter code is generating the "operation not permitted" message --- as Dachstein disallows RFC 1918 addresses (of which the 10.x.x.x is). Since these are reserved for the "private" side of networks, the external interface will reject everything if an "illegal" address is configured on that interface.
The thing to track down is why the external interface is not obtaining the proper IP from your ISP. That is outside of my experience, since I have always used static IPs. I'd recommend you walk very carefully thru the network.conf, paying close attention to the sections involving dynamic external IPs. A good step-by-step procedure for setting it up can be found at: http://www.pigtail.net/LRP/ --- about half way down the page is where the fun begins... Also note, some ISPs restrict your connection to a specific MAC address. If your ISP does that, it may be rejecting your attempt to obtain a DHCP lease. If that is the case, you will have to notify your ISP to give the MAC of your intended external NIC. I recall somewhere that some systems have "trick" for spoofing the MAC address, so you don't have to involve the ISP. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that approach in action, and I don't know if or how it would work.
