[LUG] Removing firestarter

The firestarter firewall software that I installed has proven to be a bit of a 
pain in the arse!  Every time I go online I have to:

	*  Open a terminal
	*  Become root
	*  Start firestarter

I'm sure this isn't supposed to happen, but rather than fix it, I would prefer 
just to have a simple "block all" iptables firewall that starts upon boot.

Which shouldn't be a problem, but I'm having troubles removing Firestarter!  
Using "rpm -e firestarter" seems to delete all of the files, but then none of 
my outgoing connections work!  "iptables -F" makes no difference either.

The only way I have been able to resurrect my 'Net connection is to re-install 
Firestarter :-(

Any ideas?

Jon
