I'm using ipchains in 2.4 right now.

I am not sure exactly what to put, I just went into network_options in
menuconfig and checked all the masq and firewall stuff, also packet
filtering.

Then make the kernel. rh 7.2 std kernel has ipchains and iptables built
in.

I can send you my configfile for 2.4.16 if you'd like.

This is the ipchains firewall I use:

Some people on the list will tell you to use iptables instead. I think
that they are right! I'm just too lazy to change. Yet. By 2.8 kernel, they
say that ipchains will be gone.
