But when I start it I get this error: Failed to start the firewall. The device eth0 is not ready. Please check your network device settings and make sure your Internet connection is active. Fact that i can send this email is proof enough that I'm connected to the internet! Googleing for the error message return only one result (whack!) in french. Too bad the only 'french' I know has four letters... Can anybody advise me where to go from here? Should I assume from the errr that IPtables is not currently active? Should I be scared? Thanks.
