I'm trying to build NAT functionality into the 2.6.21 kernel but it seems to have been stripped out. The default 2.6.15 kernel that comes with Fedora Core 5 contains the following parameter setting: CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT=m I cannot activate such a "rule" in 2.6.21. The complete list of options is: # IP: Netfilter Configuration # CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_IPRANGE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TOS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_RECENT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_ECN=m # CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_AH is not set CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TTL=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_OWNER=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_ADDRTYPE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_LOG=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TOS=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_ECN=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TTL=m CONFIG_IP_NF_RAW=m CONFIG_IP_NF_ARPTABLES=m Of course... if I try to set up a NAT rule with iptables... it fails: [root@adrastea linux-2.6.21]# iptables -t nat -L iptables v1.3.7: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. because there is no KLM for nat.... nor can I build it. What's going on here? RSVP and Thanks!
