Hello,
 
I'm trying to setup NAT on a MIPs platform. I applied the patches from the Iptable v1.2.5 distribution to the kernel and rebuilt it along with the netfilter modules.
 
I can install the kmods for Iptables successfully. However, the userland iptables command fails with "can't initialize iptables table `nat`: Bad address".
 
I searched the user and develop mailing list to no avail.
 
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
 
Thanks,

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
