FIREWALL STUFF

[Stan Vincent]

Hi Maurice:
Seems to me what you have seen the dos like screen is
the appropriate one.
However this is what I do differently.
I select using space bar then I use the tab to move
the selector and when the selector color comes to OK I
hit the enter key and everything is fine in lokkit.

I dont use f12
This should work I guarantee and select High security
preferable.


Regarding Firestarter the error message is ok
All you have to do is go to system tools select
Automatix run it once again, it will update itself.
After that you go to system administration and you
will find Firestarter icon in the drop down menu you
can configure it from here.

I believe both your firewalls will work now.
If you have the patience try one more time.

Regards,
Stan
