I reinstalled BL and tested also the bzimage.big kernel.
No success. Even if I open the file in mc I cannot put the '1'
into it.

I tried also to follow Sindi's instructions to install the
firewall, and got error messages. Before I am going to study
the firewall manuals I will probably try to set the ip_forward flag
in my BL2 installation.
