[SNIP] > Simon Do you realized that iptables is built to be modular? So if you want it in your kernel, you have to compile all of the separate modules in that you want. There are separate modules for iptables, ipchains (backwards compat.) ftp, nat, masq, etc. All of these that you need would have to be in your kernel. Any chance you just selected the main iptables option for the kernel and forgot about the modules? HTH Tim
