That looks like normal operation of the firewall, now, on initial first bootup.
After you do get it setup and do a save at first shutdown.
At next bootup the firewall should be active.
instructed to activate firewall after initializing ethernet
this was required, because the firewall was keeping initial setup of the Ethernet from working.
After Ethernet is setup, firewall setup adjusts for the proper setup and this gets saved in the Puppy save file/folder, when you make one on shutdown.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
