I tried with BL2 and my newer kernel and it is missing 'Generic IP 
Firewall chains' - what do I change in config?

I did, also ipfwadm-wrapper was needed, both in /sbin .

On the other computer I typed
route add -net 192.168.1.0
and got back 'route:  SIOC[ADD|DEL]RT: Invalid argument.

Using my 2.4.31 kernel not set up for firewall.

route add default gw 192.168.1.2

This added default lois to the output of 'route', with genmask 0.0.0.0 and 
flags UG.

I will try both computers with BL3 'big' kernel after downloading tcpip2 
for BL3.  Some day.
