Kernel 2.4.14 Legend: [*] built-in [ ] excluded <M> module < > module capable <*> Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT) <*> FTP protocol support <*> IRC protocol support .. .. .. and /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_irc so no, it isn't a module. It doesn't work with my secondary ISP.(maybe because I get private IPs 10.x.x.x), but it works to irc from the router. Haven't tried with my primary yet. // Joachim
