Hello List, Sorry for going on your nerves with this kind of newbie question, but I have no ideas (any more) of how to solve this problem ... for now I tried many, many times unsuccessfully to compile a kernel with MASQ support and meanwhile I updated to 2.4.25-pre8 in the hope a newer kernel would bring the solution. <--- SNIP ---> # # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=y CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=y CONFIG_NETFILTER=y CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y # # IP: Netfilter Configuration # CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=y CONFIG_IP_NF_FTP=m CONFIG_IP_NF_IRC=m CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=y CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MARK=y CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT=y CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TCPMSS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_CONNTRACK=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_UNCLEAN=m CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=y CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=y CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_NEEDED=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_IRC=m CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_FTP=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=y CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TCPMSS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_ARPTABLES=m CONFIG_IP_NF_ARPFILTER=m CONFIG_IP_NF_ARP_MANGLE=m [for better readability I left out the outcommented rows] <--- SNIP ---> 'ls /proc/net' doesn't show ip_masquerade: [EMAIL PROTECTED] net # ls -l total 0 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 arp -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 dev -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 dev_mcast dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 drivers -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 ip_conntrack -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 ip_tables_matches -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 ip_tables_names -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 ip_tables_targets -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 mcfilter -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 netlink -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 netstat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 packet -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 raw -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 route -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 rt_cache -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 rt_cache_stat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 snmp -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 sockstat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 softnet_stat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 tcp -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 udp -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 unix -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 4 14:50 wireless And iptables doesn't know Masquerading as well: <--- SNIP ---> [EMAIL PROTECTED] root # iptables --version iptables v1.2.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables: Invalid argument <--- SNIP ---> ANY hints will be greatly appreciated, since i am already on the edge off getting heavily frustrated ...
