Re: Setting up a server



No, that don't work.

Below is a previous post of mine. In response to this, one person said to use iptables since I was using 2.4.xx kernel.

However, if I try to submit any iptables commands, like: iptables -L
I get an error: "modprobe: can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table 'filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded."

So, does this mean I didn't compile it in my kernel as I thought? I assume this is Network packet filtering that I mentioned below.

Having compiled a 2.4.18 kernel with Freeswan I discover the following problem:

When I try to give the command, for example: ipchains -P forward DENY
I get an error: "ipchains: Protocol not available"

But I see that I the ipchains packet installed. There isn't an ipchains to be configured into the kernel, however, there is the option: Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains), which I'm pretty certain I did check. What is the cause of this?

Thanks

and configure iptables masquerading. Start with something simple, like
making sure you can forward a ping, and watch everything with ethereal.
