I check all of those options, and they were all appropriately marked. So, my next step was to see if it was trying to load iptables as a module or something (I have them all in the kernel)
I am basing this off a RedHat 7.1 install with a 2.4.9-6 kernel upgrade. I then download the 2.4.9 kernel source from kernel.org. In the /lib/modules directory there are 2.4.2-12 2.4.9 2.4.9-6 I think the 2.4.9-6 is from the redhat package, 2.4.9 is the kernel I just compiled and 2.4.2-12 is the original kernel I was running. How do I check if I am running the right kernel, with the right modules? -----Original Message----- From: Bart De Schuymer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 11:11 AM To: Ben Neigebauer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Bridge] IP Tables Module Error > Hello All! > > I have patched the code into the kernel and successfully compiled it.

First of all, you need to check 'Networking options'->'Network packet filtering' . Then you need to enable iptables in your kernel. Go to 'Networking options'->'IP: Netfilter Configuration' and check 'IP tables support' Check anything else there you would like too. To use iptables on the bridge, you need to check 'Networking options'->'802.1d Ethernet Bridging'->Bridge: firewalling support' Hope this clears everything for you. > > I have (or at least tried) to compile it into the kernel. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
