I have never been able to get IP Masquerading working with the 2.2.x
series kernels and ipmasq. I could ping any host from any computer, and
telnet would initiate a connection but I would never get a login prompt.
Switched to using 2.0.38 and everything worked first time (after about
three days of hair pulling).
If anyone else has had the same experience and has any handy hints, I
would love to hear them.
