Thanks for the reply, I have already looked at Rusty's patch, however it is for kernel 2.6.9(-rc1.bk12). Where the ipt_MASQUERADE.c code is different and I don't understand the code in its entirety for me to attempt to make changes. I was wondering if someone can translate that patch to a kernel 2.6.5 patch. I posted a message on the netfilter-devel list but no reply from there either. again suggestions are welcome thanks dravya On Sep 21, Jason Opperisano <opie@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Tue, 2004-09-21 at 11:11, dravya wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I have just switched to Fedora Core 2 and thus kernel 2.6.5 and I still am witnessing the > > change of ip address on my 2 ppp links.
