That means that there isn't any ip forwarding or firewalling, for sure.

It looks like your kernel is too big for "zimage" - I'm not sure
what the maximum is.

You should probably use "make bzimage" in your case.  I don't
really know what the big difference between bzimage and zimage
is - but I'm sure there's some documentation somewhere.

I also use Manoj's "kernel-package" package to compile my kernels 
and make packages out of them - it's pretty slick, and I think it 
handles this (and many other things) automatically.

I have looked at my /proc/net directory. There are no ip_* files. What
should I do.
Note: After recompiling kernel I have noticed following:

Setup is 4384 bytes
System is 638kB
System is too big
Man[1]: ***[zImage] Error 1

Everything but ipforwarding and firewalling work just fine.

Thanks,
Drazen

I'm not sure.  You can check to see if they are compiled into the
kernel you are currently running by looking at your /proc/net
directory.

Here's what I've got in my /proc/net directory on a system with
IP forwarding, firewalling, accounting, and masquerading...

boots:/proc/net# ls
alias_typesip_acctip_masq_approute  tcp
aliasesip_autofw  ip_masquerade  rt_cache   udp
arpip_forward ip_output  snmp   unix
devip_input   rawsockstat

Of course, there might be something else going on...
