Just to avoid another mail in the near future after you press that
"upgrade system" button:
I hope you are aware of the fact that your package management system
still thinks that you are using 2.6.15 and will ask to upgrade the kernel
when a new ubuntu package comes out.

You should try `iptables -L` or `iptables -F` and see what they say.
Also send us the output of
`zcat /proc/config.gz |grep NETFILTER; zcat /proc/config.gz |grep _NF_`

If you'd used ubuntu's 2.6.17 kernel that was recommended previously you
would have a fully functional system by now.
