Yes there is - in fact b/c of your email last night i compiled a 2.4.20 kernel and followed the tldp howto: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html I use rp-pppoe for my DSL connection so I also included the options found in it: tar tzvf rp-pppoe-3.5.tgz *doc*KERNEL* rp-pppoe-3.5/doc/KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE It works o.k. for me.

Re: No ip-masquerade after upgrade 2.2.19 to 2.4.20
Please disregard my previous email. On my fifth kernel compile, I now have ipmasquerading. I enabled and included everything under the sun with regard to ppp, iptables, ipchains, and ipmasquerading. Undoubtedly, I have a bloated kernel with features I don't need, but it works now. I now need to educate myself on the differences between 2.4 and 2.2 with respect to iptables/ipchains. Is there a concise synopsis anywhere in the Linux Documentation Project that I can reference? Thanks to all who have replied. Happy Holidays!

Re: No ip-masquerade after upgrade 2.2.19 to 2.4.20
Thanks for the reply. I'm still in a quandary. I have installed .deb packages for iptables and ipmasq. I believe I have enabled the appropriate kernel options (there seem to be many more options in the 2.4 series kernel). I regret to say that I am ignorant of the intricacies of the iptables package, and don't have documentation to read. Is anyone willing to summarize the minimum kernel options I must enable to provide ipmasq over a ppp dial-up connection? I'm stuck and still using my old 2.2 kernel.

Thanks much, Russ One of the things that changed between 2.2 and 2.4 kernels was IP chains transmogrified into IPtables. Perhaps your natting scripts no longer work with the 2.4 kernel? You might need to go to the netfilter site (http://www.iptables.org/) to get the latest version of IPtables. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

In a rare moment of foresight, I kept the previous kernel and labeled it 'safe' in lilo.conf, so I can still use that kernel, and currently am. Thanks much, Russ Russ, I had exactly the same situation here when I did the "upgrade" from the 2.2.x kernel to the 2.4.X kernel. The answer lies in the shift from IPCAHINS (in the 2.2.X kernels) to the use of IPTABLES (in the 2.4.x kernels). Your masquerading code was probably based on IPCHAINS. Fortunately, the newer series of kernels maintained "backwards compatability" with IPCHAINS, in that this functionality is available as a module in your new kernel. The quick-fix is to "modprobe ipchains" and see if masquerading is restored. If so, then you can add this module to the /etc/modules file and it will come up on reboot as before. A better solution, IMHO, is to make use of the newer IPTABLES capability. While I have not tried out everything available, I have recently been using the "FireStarter" firewall, which will also provide IPMasq in addition to firewall services to your LAN. I am a pretty "basic" sort, so this program was a godsend. I managed to get it going in spite of my senility and lack of computer skills . It was simple to configure and get going...no need to write any rule-sets. When you are finished it gives you a pretty good, working IPTABLES/NETFILTER rule-set that you can study and learn from, while keeping your wife & son happy... There are many other "solutions" available, and an equal number of opinions on why they are "better". I just found Firestarter to be the quickest way to get going for me.
