Hello,
I'd like to post a problem for which I read tons of mail thread, but that I
can't absolutely get rid of.

I've a little lan with 3 "client" computers and a gateway/router, a linux
box with 2.4.* kernel connected to the Internet by ADSL.

I've compiled kernel to use NAT and Ip masquerading with iptables and
everething works well, everything but this:

1: There's no way for me to establish an active ftp connection to any ftp
server on the Internet, if I try it by a masqued WINDOWS client (It works
with linux clients). I compiled ip_masq_ftp as a part of the kernel and not
as a module, so I don't think it's a problem of module loading.
Oh, don't tell me to switch to passive mode, it's too simple in that way :-)

2. I can't connect to any IRC by a windows client if I put the gateway
iptables INPUT policy to DROP (and another time, the same thing work with a
linux client).

Does anyone know why windoze clients give so many problems?

Thanks a lot
