Migrating from IPChains to Netfilters?

lodn asks: "I've been using a Linux gateway for some time now. It's a simple kernel 2.2.18 install with IP forwarding. Thanks to the great HOWTO on IPchains I was able to configure it with no problems. Now I'd like to upgrade to kernel 2.4, however I have not been able to find a HOWTO for Netfilters! Does anyone know where such can be found?" Anyone know of any IPchain-to-Netfilter migration utilities? I must admit, I haven't been able to find much information about Netfilter usage either when I went looking into 2.4, however my firewall is also still 2.2. Time to upgrade, methinks.

In order to avoid psychological problems and other traumatisms, US Authorities have decided to ban the word 'Down' due to mottos like 'another plane down'.

Unfortunately, the key 'Page Down' has been removed from all keyboards in united states and moreover, users cannot 'Scroll Down'.

As the link to the HOWTO is not at hte top of the netfilter homepage, it is not possible for users in the US to reach it.
