Fatdog firewall won't auto-start

[Aung]

Thanks for the new Fatdog.
In every one of the 700 series eztables has had this problem. I have never been able to achieve a tick in the 'Running' box even after clicking 'Start'.
On reboot eztables dont 'start' at all even though the box remains ticked.
However upon starting manually eztables does appear to be working with a sea of green for Solicited TCP Packets and Unsolicited Packets:
at shieldup.
Is ping reply failing a problem for being on the net, in 600 series cant recall that failing.
Is it possible to have something in the tray to show firewall status seeing that eztables is tucked deep into control panel?
