Hi, I hope I'm posting my question in the correct place. Here is the issue - I'm using the "Core Linux" distribution on an old PC to aplly some traffic shaping on my ADSL connection. I had no problems compiling Iptables in the begining and all works for now. Now - where the problems start. I wanted to try to see how the Layer-7 classifier performs (http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net), so i got the patches, applied them and tried if it compiles. The kernel worked with no problem, i compiled it and replaced the old one. However iptables did not - i type "make KERNEL_DIR=/correct/path/to/patched kernel" and it just stays there. Nothing happens - no messages no nothing. So i mailed the guyz, asking for advice and it turned out i can't compile iptables again whatsoever. I deleted the source file, unpacked again and tried just "make" - with the default kernel path - wich is to unpatched 2.4 files. Same effect - nothing happens , no mesages no nothing. Compiling it, still without the Layer 7 patch, but with the 2.6.9 kernel dir - same effect. So I wonder what I did mess up.. I honestly don't remember with wich kernel I compiled iptables in the first place, but it should have been with 2.6.9, because it all works without any problems. (Core comes with 2.4.something by default, but i replaced it almost immediately so i don't think i compiled anything before switching to 2.6.9). If you have any ideas how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks. -- Atilla
