Look at /etc/network/interfaces. man interfaces for its definition. man {ifup,ifdown} for a further reading about the Debian Way of Networking. > * Should i add also these or is that automatically generated ? Default routes to the networks of all the interfaces are generally added automatically. > ---- > * and where should i put these? > [snipped ipchain rules] Create a script and place it somewhere like /root/scripts/ipchains.sh. Now, make sure this is run whenever you want. If you want this started at boot time, either use a CRON entry (check out "@reboot"). Or you could create an init script controlling that script. If you want that, copy /etc/init.d/skeleton as a template and check out update-rc.d for creating the necessary links for the SysV-init (/etc/init.d/README).
