Iptables in fedora wont work properly


Hi I am a new to linux having upgraded from windows xp as I wasn’t happy with the security aspect of it and I have just purchased a copy of fedora but I cant get the iptables to work properly it seams to load R-H Firewall as default I have created two scripts with a lot of help from a friend one to make the 2.4 kernel better equipped against a DOS attack and the other as a firewall script I have added the commands into the rc.local script after creating the folder rc.scripts with the relevant files in the folder
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
sh /etc/rc.scripts/rc.kernel
sh -f -v /etc/rc.scripts/rc.firewall

But it doesn't seam to load the firewall script into the iptables memory can anyone help me please

Hello friends,

Friend nightmare6667,

You can try this mode:
Put your configuration file in a directory, like /usr/local/bin, and use the command: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/firewall_rules.sh. Then, insert the following lines in your rc.d (boot):
sh /usr/local/bin/firewall_rules.sh.

I think the iptables are now loading

Hi thanks for your reply i found a mistake in my rc.local how ever i think they are now loading my rule set when i do iptables -L it comes up with some text that bares a resemblance to my script but what i am trying to do is have 3 computer networks

eth0 being the INTERNET address assigned by a dhcp server that gives my network card an address of 10.0.0.5

eth1 being an internal nic with the address of 10.1.0.254

eth2 being internal network two with the address of 10.2.0.254

eth 3 being network three with the address of 10.3.0.254

i want network one eth one to have access to the other two networks on eth2 and 3

i want network two to be able to have access to network three but not one and still be able to go on the INTERNET

and i want network three to be stand alone just with INTERNET access

i managed to get Windows xp to share the INTERNET for me and i turned off its file sharing and clients for Microsoft networking which just gave me the INTERNET to the second network but i am still a new to linux and unfortunately very new to iptables and masquerading nating and other names for it i would be gratefully for any help possible
