[solved] Problem changing settings to Ubuntu firewall

Let's start with my problem:
Years ago a colleague of mine setted up an internal Ubuntu firewall to do prerouting and postrouting duty from-to our static IP address.

Now, several years later, that person does not work here anymore and we changed our internet provider.
That means we changed our static IP and it's name. We also changed domain.

I started reconfiguring our firewall and I'm lost at one point:
I changed host name in both \etc\hosts and \etc\hostname (I needed to do this because I need the firewall name to match the static IP name) but from now then when I reboot it won't manage to execute \etc\rc.local but the file is in it's place with all it's attributes set in the right place and so on. I can VI it and see it's contents, no problems. It just does not manage to see it at startup level.
The message I get is:
/etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local: 29: /etc/rc.local: not found

the file /etc/rc2.d/S99rc.local is untouched so should still be correct...

What am I missing?

Thanx to a smart guy I finally found the problem
I accidentally changed a character in the first line of the script so Linux was not more able to understand what program use to run it.
