Hi all This is hopefully a quick question. Today I upgraded my system from Linux Kernel 2.6.16.20 to 2.6.20.7 because I needed an updated NIC driver. Upon running make menuconfig, I noticed that the options for NAT seem to have vanished from the config menu. At first, I used my .config file from 2.6.16.20, but under such a method there were no netfilter options available at all. So I removed the .config file and ran make menuconfig from scratch - this time, I got netfilter options, but no sign of NAT. I then hunted through the source tree and found plenty of sections that still mention CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT, which ruled out the possibility that NAT has been merged under a different section of the kernel compilation. Then I edited the .config file by hand, and added CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=yes. After building the kernel (which didn't add any nat functionality) I checked the .config file and found that the make process had actually removed the NF data from the file. I have enabled: CONFIG PACKET NF CONNTRACK CONFIG IP NF IPTABLES CONFIG IP NF FILTER CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT CONFIG IP NF MATCH STATE IPTables works fine. I have a firewall that works. It's just that as soon as I try to refer to the 'nat' table, it tells me this is not possible as it's not compiled into my kernel. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but the kernel mailing list was slow at responding so I thought I'd try here. Any help would be greatly appreciated Regards Richard ------------------------------------------------ This message was sent using InSPire Net Webmail. http://www.inspire.net.nz
