ip masquerading on debian slink
hello i've got a LAN setup and would like a linux box on it to be a gateway. the LAN works fine but it is a class C network and i would like to enable ip masquerading on the linux box (debian slink). i'm having two problems: 1. debian distributions don't compile ip masquerading into the kernel, right? 2. kernel compile problems. problem 1: decoding an error message generated while trying to enable ip masquerading on kernel without ip masquerading enabled. error messages: # ipchains -F input ipchains: setsockopt failed: Protocol not available # ipchains -F ipchains: cannot open file '/proc/net/ip_fwnames' problem2: compiling the kernel. i configure the kernel the way the IP Masquerade howto suggests for 2.0.x kernels. the compilation almost completes and generates a command 'as86' which generates a command not found error. any suggestions? any help or references to relevant documentation would be appreciated. thanks, __ Brad Reid, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to install the bin86 package. BTW, when you get the kernel properly compiled the ipmasq package drops right in and gives you what you want.
