I'm trying to upgrade from an ipchains (working!) firewall+nat
setup to one using iptables.  However, I get stuck when I
try to enable masquerading.

[root@hermes userspace]# ./iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables: Invalid argument

I think the modules I need are loaded:
[root@hermes linux-2.4.20]# lsmod

Any ideas?
