Try typing in the following an examine the result (you'll do the following
steps as root):
uname -r
If it's 2.2.something then do the following:
modprobe ipchains
If it's 2.4.something then do the following:
modprobe iptables_nat
If that succeeds (i.e. doesn't complain), then re-run ipmasq.
If it's 2.0.something, you're on your own.
Martin.
