| Hey, I'm building a router/server for my lan, and have configured my kernel as described in the ldp masquerading howto. Well, I'm having serious problems with the iptables kernel modules. I first emerged the gentoo kernel, but the compilation hung when it tried to compile the iptables modules, I tried the vanilla kernel then, and then it compiled fine. I selected to compile all iptables stuff (as in the howto) as modules, but when I execute my iptables script now (that sets up the firewall and masquerading), <code> $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $LAN_INTERFACE -j MASQUERADE </code> gives the folowing error: iptables: Invalid argument I don't have an idea what could be the problem, I used this exact script with debian woody (the standard kernel) without a single error. Can anyone help me? Thomas -- Thomas Langewouters url: http://users.skynet.be/langewouters jbr: Vlam-T@jabber.org "me? spam-free!" |

Try recompiling iptables (emerge iptables). Had this error myself -- A Dieu, Robert Zwerus - e-mail: arzie@dds.nl ICQ UIN: 3943443 - MSN: robert_zwerus@hotmail.com |
