Trouble is, I can't seem to start firestarter. 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. And I know that eth0 is working because I am on the internet now! I really don't know what to do, I've google till I was blue on this about a week ago, and posted to this list, but got nowhere. I guess I just gave up on it in frustration, but now I see that I must get it working! Any advise would be very much appreciated. Dotan Cohen http://English-Lyrics.com/ http://Song-Lyriks.com/
