Ok, I've read conflicting information on this subject, and neither solution has
worked correctly. I can't use this solution becuase I don't seem to have
ipnm_cache. I tried to follow the NAT-HOWTO which says to use these commands:
#> modprobe iptable_nat
#> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
at which point I get the message:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
Help?
