I have iptables 1.2.5 installed and not a one of the files you mention exists - and I have been manipulating/trying to setup NAT. It was actually working for several hours last evening but then, from out of the blue, my laptop-desktop wireless (adhoc) connection crapped out and since then I cannot get it back. The cards are associating (according to my logs) but there is no communication possible back-and-forth. All I get if I try to ping is "Destination unreachable". The cards are associating though. I have my desktop wlan device on eth0 and it has IP 192.168.1.1 while my laptop wlan card is wlan0 set to 192.168.1.5. The desktop has a modem (ppp0). Wireless is adhoc and they are properly assigned the same essid, channel, etc. I am assuming a routing/iptables problem. In particular, a routing problem. I have been trying to add a route to my laptop but I get a bizarre error whenever I try to add a route on my desktop, ie: [root@localhost praedor]# route add -net 192.168.1.0 gw * netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 ac3d: Unknown host ac3d!?! Where the hell is that coming from? Why does my iptables accept inputs, ie: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE but no config files are produced...NONE of the files you listed exist anywhere on my system. This is Mandrake 8.2. Again, for several hours last evening I had it all working, and I was able to add routes via "route add ..." but now any attempt to do this produces the "ac3d: Unknown host. I cannot find any file/config where this entry might exist and no idea how it could have gotten into it. praedor
