Hold on a minute...

No distribution of Linux is designed to be one thing or another, its all
Linux! If Red Hat isn't supposed to be a server, then how come CNN use it as
such?

Katpete: Send us your pmfirewall configs.

Also, make sure you have IPMasquerading enabled in your kernel (For info on
recompiling the kernel, see the Kernel Howto on www.linuxdoc.org ).

Then ensure that IPChains is installed. To do this:

As root type rpm -qa | grep -i ipchain

And hit return.
