Clue #1 is to look for the information on your system 'first'!
"From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes"
As of 2.1.102, the IP firewalling code has been replaced; ipfwadm
will no longer work. You need to obtain "ipchains," available from
http://www.rustcorp.com/linux/ipchains/ , and use that instead of
ipfwadm.
To use masq forwarding you will need to obtain "ipmasqadm,"
available from http://juanjox.linuxhq.com/ .
