On what device or machine does it exist? You don't seem to be talking about the "ifup" tool (since you talk about "ip", which however does not know the "nat" mode?!?), and you don't seem to be talking about the lo device either. > the ask is: > it is into gentoo linux with iptables ? Errm, again: What? Setting up you loopback device on gentoo is done automatically by /etc/init.d/net.lo. Should be run on bootup by rc, check "rc-update show". Setting up NAT works using a sysctl (or the procfs). Restricting the NAT works using iptables. > the compiler module especial for function? Errrr.... Again, not sure what you are asking here... Yes, you need kernel modules for both NAT to work and as well netfilter modules for the chains and targets and matches you want to use with iptables. They don't really have to be modules, you can compile them statically into the kernel as well. If unsure, rephrase your question -- and be a bit more verbose on what you intend to do... A bit more information might as well cure lack of proper vocabulary... Give examples, try to describe the setting. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
