Thanks for all the helpful hints! > Same kernel? goodhost=2.6.9-1.667smp badhost=2.6.9-1.667 Not sure what the "smp" is. I will try loading on badhost the version with the same kernel on goodhost and see if that fixes the problem. > > However, IT DOES NOT GET LOADED THE SAME WAY!! > > Please define that. I just meant that the output from 'iptables -L' does not show the same thing. The rules are correctly applied when running 'iptables-restore' later on, but not all the rules are correctly applied at startup. > If you want help you should post: > a.

Now that you've helped me to realise that I'm not using the same kernel, I'll try that first, and if the problem persits go on to all your other helpful suggestions. My only problem is that I won't have physical access to the server again until later this week. Here is my credit card info: Visa - 5515 2363 5124 1234 exp 04/06 Mother's maiden name: Ima Galible Just let me know if you need my social security number, too. For security reasons, I'd rather mail that to you privately. Thanks again! :-)
