Clinton,

It seems that the firewall script doesn't match with the rules that
ipchains gives. You probably have some other firewalling script at work,
maybe ipmasq or something? Check in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ directory for any
scripts that might implement a separate firewall. Either disable them by
uninstalling the package or just removing the executable flag from the
script for the meantime.

Also the output of "ipchains -L -v" is a bit more informative - just
"ipchains -L" without the -v skimps a bit on the details. 

Regards,

Bernard.
