i don't know anything about genkernel, but if you manually config your kernel, you only need to enable the following: networking options > network packet filtering networking options > ip netfilter configuration > ip tables support networking options > ip netfilter configuration > [stuff] where [stuff] is the list of stuff you want enabled for iptables. connection tracking is a good one to have, so is limit matching if you're doing a gateway. quota matching is good for a multi-user box. etc. etc. hope that helps -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
