Question #76627 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76627

Summary changed to:
networkmanager overwriting iptables on boot-up

Description changed to:
My dad's 8.10 desktop has two Ethernet adapters, and I tried to set up
ICS.  I mis-typed one of the commands, though, and so now networkmanager
overwrites the iptables filter table to block anything coming through
eth0 (the one connecting to Internet). He found out how to fix this
temporarily, but every time we boot Ubuntu, networkmanager overwrites
the tables so we can't get Internet.  We dual-boot, though, so all is
not lost, but can someone tell me how to fix networkmanager so it
doesn't overwrite the iptables?
