You don't have to do anything but follow the readme. When the install starts it will ask a bunch of questions. Answer no to most of them and allow unlimited access to 127.0.0. When all questions are answered and you tell it to start on ppp0 connection, it will automatically modify your IPchains. You will be off and running. No other config required. Dennis

Thats great. I've downloaded the .tar and have been going over the readme's and the IPChains HowTo. Do I have to compile the kernel under Mandrake 7.1 to
enable IPChains, or can I do it from Drakconfig?
