This is one that you really have to keep trying at. Ive had
similar blunders and have updated the kernel and then
blown my system(zu) a number of times. It's best to use 7.2
or have a spare disk set aside just for practicising. It's tricky
but the trick is never to give up.

I dont believe you can just type in rules off the console and have
them work. Im not sure though. Was hoping there would be an
ipchains expert out there somewhere.
