I tried your suggestions without success. ip-up.local is executable in a bash console and if I do so, I get this message: "iptables v1.3.5: invalid mask '255' specified Try 'iptables -h' for more information. A subent mask of 255? In my opinion it should be something like
<address>/24 or 255.255.255.0. Seems to me that your settings are not correct, firestarter doesn't know your subnet mask.

That message is what I don't understand. My subnet is declared correctly, I even went back and checked. Firestarter says it starts but doesn't seem to enable NAT because nothing behind the firewall can reach the internet.
