On my system /etc/rc3.d/ contains S20firestarter, but
no reference to network.  Firestarter is also present
in rc2.d rc4.d and rc5.d

I do have S35networking in /etc/rc0.d/ & in
/etc/rc6.d/ also S47network-status in rcS.d

I don't have S??network anywhere.

I decided S35 networking was probably the file I was
after so as root I went

home:/home/al-anna# update-rc.d firestarter defaults
36

which generated the message

System startup links for /etc/init.d/firestarter
already exist.
home:/home/al-anna#

Oddly enough I seem to have achieved something; if I
power off and then reboot, I have outgoing access so
long as I haven't turned off the mains power to the
modem and pc (3 times) however if I do turn off the
mains power to the modem and the computer, when I
power on again outgoing access is blocked until I stop
and restart the firewall (2 times).  Before it didn't
matter if I left the mains power on - powering off the
computer with the button on the front or autopower off
resulted in outgoing access block regardless of my
leaving the mains power and modem on.

Also the symlink for firestarter is still
S20firestarter - I don't know if it's meant to have
changed.

I know xandros run levels are oddly setup - the
default run level for xwindows is said to be 2 (by the
user forum), I'll pester xandros some more about how
to change startup order.

Meanwhile if you have any other suggestions I'd be
happy to try them,

either way, thanks for your help to date,

Anna
