I'm glad it worked for you, Mitch. There are other, similar GUI
iptables manipulators available, I'm just most familar with FireStarter.
A search at sourceforge.net will net a bunch of them as will a google
search with "iptables +gui".
You should send your kudos to the FireStarter development team as well.
Nothing makes an open source contributor happier than a rave review and
pat on the back--except, perhaps, a lot of cash! ;-)
