I seem to be having trouble getting IP masq. to work on my RH 7.1 box.

setup:
AMD Duron 750 w/ ASUS A7V Motherboard
256 MB 100Mhz SDRAM
Software RAID-5 w/ ReiserFS filesystem
2x 3Com 3c905B NICs

Outside network: Adelphia Cable Powerlink (cable modem)
                 eth0 = DHCP
Inside network: 192.168.1.0/24
                eth1 = 192.168.1.254

I recompiled my kernel with the appropriate options enabled, FYI it's a
monolithic kernel.  Enabled net.ipv4.ip_forward =1 in
/etc/sysctl.conf.  Created /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables and started it.

Setup my Win98 box w/ IP:192.168.1.10, SubnetMask:255.255.255.0, Disabled
WINS, Gateway:192.168.1.254, DNS Host:barenaked, DNS Servers:24.48.33.2,
24.48.33.3 (as defined in /etc/resolve.conf).

Now I can ping outside addresses, and do a reverse DNS lookup on them from
my RH box (everything works fine from my RH box).  I can only ping an IP
Address from my Win98 box, not a host with a FQDN.  I can not access a web
page at all from my Win98 box by name or IP.  And lastly if I do a
"netstat -M" from my RH box i get "netstat: no support for 'ip_masquerade'
on this system" in response.

However if I stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables then masquerading works fine,
even though netstat still reports "netstat: no support for 'ip_masquerade'
on this system".  I thought I needed iptables to be running iin order for
IP Masq. to work.  (would like it to for security reasons).

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
