2.4.14 ...Masquerade has not been enabled in the kernel.

[Eric Smith <es@fruitcom.com>]

Its been quite a saga - I have lost my (limited) hacking instinct.
Having failed to get ipmasq to work on 2.2.19 (possibly something to do with
eth0 eth1 being reversed i.e. eth0 on LAN side), I am now on the 2.4.14 precompiled and
hoping for better things.

I want to get on with other things, no desire to config my own
kernel, compile modules, hack the interfaces file to switch eth{0,1}
...  so, please can someone offer a simple solution out of the box
solution - all I want to do is give internet access to a connected machine.
Embarrasing when it is such a no-brainer to config winroute on a
blows box.

I have followings in /etc/modules
