Subject: SNAT "invalid argument"


> Hi,
>
> I've been using SNAT for some time on several systems. However on a system
I
> just built I get the following response:
>
> # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to 1.2.3.4
> iptables: Invalid argument
>
> That's with 1.2.3.4 replaced by a real IP (or not).
>
> This is driving me up the wall since "Full NAT"  support is compiled into
> the 2.4.21 kernel. The iptables version is 1.2.8. The only thing different
> in the kernel options from what I've used before is that I also included
> "NAT of local connections" - haven't tried to use that yet though.
>
> iptables is otherwise working fine. -j MASQUERADE (also compiled in) also
> gives me an "Invalid argument" - so it does look like something's wrong in
> the NAT section, but damned if I know what.
