Re: IP filter header files...

Just before I got your answer, I searched for those files and found
them in a directory on my machine where I had installed IPFILTER. I moved
them to a number of directies too !! but what made it work for my case
was /usr/include...Althoug you said that you tried it and it didn't
work! strange huh !
        Thanks very much for your reply!!
