check your kernel config to make sure that netfilter/iptables support is installed; if not you'll have to install a new kernel. After that, do <br />
# apt-get install iptables<br />
<br />
I would echo rindi's suggestions of using shorewall to configure the firewall (or check out webmin)

I have Debian Sarge installed and trying to get IPTables going. I have an old set of rules ....<br />
<br />
I have no /etc/init.d/iptables in this version. How do I configure IPTABLES and how do I save the rules so they will remain in the system<br />
<br />
I am new to this, and I just want to set a very simple firewall up....<br />
<br />
TIA,<br />
