This really helps. I have seen parts of this when I tried making one of my machines a dhcp server, but I could not succeed :(, I had port forwarding enabled and saved the iptables, but something else was screwing up. When we start we see if iptables service succeeded or not. How about the other part: ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (16384 buckets, 65536 max) CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please use nf_conntrack.acct=1 kernel parameter, acct=1 nf_conntrack module option or sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1 to enable it. What is CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT and why is it being depracated? Thanks for your response. IT is what I was looking for.
