RE: [Plug] IP masquerading for the clueless
|
Aha! An immediately useful clue! Yes, I'm using the 2.2.7 kernel. I
think I have the 2.0.36 source on-line, though, maybe I'll just configure
that and see what happens...uh, I mean "test that configuration".
Thanks!

Are you using a 2.2.* kernel? If so, (according to the kernel docs)
ipfwadm won't work with it.
