Remove the original firestarter line from
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local and add
the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start
And the following line to /etc/ppp/ip-down.local:
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh stop
Also disable firestarter as a service (chkconfig
firestarter off) and
take a look in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local for broken code.
Is /etc/ppp/ip-up.local executable in a bash console?

why aren't you starting your firewall from

Cause ip changes on every dial-in for internet connections

This is an option in firestarter configuration since 2005.

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.
