Hi all, Fixed it. Here is my story
I originally downloaded the latest kernel 2.4.18. make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs) make dep. make bzImage make modules. make modules_install check everything worked, which it did, so next I tried to add IPTables and Bridging patch cd /usr/src/linux diff -p1 < /tmp/bridge-nf-0.0.6-against-2.4.18.diff Next patch with the IPTables. cd /tmp/iptables-1.2.6a make pending-patches KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/local/linux then recompiled my kernel after updating the Kernel Config - make xconfig Rebooted and tried code, got the errors. Okay, then did this make mrproper make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs) make dep. make bzImage make modules. make modules_install rebooted, tried code and all worked fine no errors. It seems the kernel was a bit confused and the make mrproper solved the problem. I think I am right in saying the correct way to do this is as follows Unzip the kernel Patch with bridgin code Patch with Iptables make xconfig (set up the kernel to my specs) make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install Should work. Took me a while but I got there.
