2.1 and 2.2 have a simpler version of the ip_dynaddr functionality,
but it should be sufficient for your problem.

I don't know why, it works for others. Try doing 'cat' on
the /proc file to see whether your echo worked. You have
to be root to do it.

It's the local IP that makes things unreachable, because your packets
are all sent out with the wrong source address so the answers never
get to you.
