The iptables_nat module loads fine, but=20 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE gives: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name I've checked that the 'libipt_MASQUERADE.so' file is in /usr/lib/iptables= =2E If I command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j SNAT --to 62.255.122.217 then this happens: iptables -t nat --list Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination SNAT all -- anywhere anywhere to:192.168.1.= 0 Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination So now I'm stumped! What I am attempting to do is to rpovide my other two machines on my local LAN (192.168.1....) with internet access via 192.168.1.3 using ppp. If I get this to the point where it works then it will be worth mu while = buying into broadband. Sorry to be so stupid, all suggestions welcomed. Richard
