Problem with Firewall

Hi all,

 I'm using the iptables config from:
http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//packet-filtering-HOWTO-5.html

 Now, when I try that, apparently KDE and GNOME both refuses to start
-- do they run some kind of server and then connect to it? How can I
fix this?

 (Worked fine on RH9; but apparently refuses to work on FC2).

To make it easier to respond; the section I'm referring to is:

--BEGIN QUOTE--
## Insert connection-tracking modules (not needed if built into kernel).
# insmod ip_conntrack
# insmod ip_conntrack_ftp

## Create chain which blocks new connections, except if coming from inside.
# iptables -N block
# iptables -A block -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A block -m state --state NEW -i ! ppp0 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A block -j DROP

## Jump to that chain from INPUT and FORWARD chains.
# iptables -A INPUT -j block
--END QUOTE--
