I have some detailed rules that are made by the program Firestarter:

http://www.tyler.mcadams.com/iptables.txt

When Firestarter is started the rules look like they do above but Firestarter does not want to start with the system and the rules get flushed at reboot.

I want to use the rules made be Firestarter but when I do iptables-restore > iptables.txt the rules look different:

[root@Fedora tylerm]# iptables-save

The firewall is down like this - any suggestions?

Run 'iptables-restore < iptables.txt'?

[root@Fedora tylerm]# iptables-restore < iptables.bak

[root@Fedora tylerm]# iptables-save
