Yeah - I forgot to mention that.  I still use ipchains on a 2.2 series kernel.  I never took the time to sit down and learn iptables syntax (I know I know, you can load the ipchains kernel module with the 2.4 series...)

P.S. If anyone wants to scan me and let me know if I've left anything stupid open, my router's external IP is 12.238.11.116.  Please be respectful.
