The kernel iptables implementation changed somewhat between 2.6.15 and |
| 8 |
2.6.16. In particular, "make oldconfig" won't set things up |
| 9 |
correctly. You'll need to run "make menuconfig", and check the |
| 10 |
iptables section. |

Note that you *will* need to compile in Xtables support as well as |
| 13 |
iptables (Networking -> Networking Options -> |
| 14 |
Network Packet Filtering -> Core Netfilter Configuration -> |
| 15 |
Netfilter Xtables support). |

If you use genkernel, I can't help you, since I don't. |

This is because your new kernel doesn't have NAT compiled in. It |
| 29 |
probably doesn't have any iptables support at all at the moment. |
