It loaded fine, but I get different behavior with the two machines! I compared the rules line by line using iptables -L, and theyre identical. But I do not get forwarded to the internal hosts like I should, when I try with the new machine! The routing tables are identical also, and they both have the same kernel modules loaded... the original is a 2.4.20 precompiled redhat kernel, and the new one is 2.4.25 that i compiled myself - could it be something i am missing in the kernel?? or is there something else i should check? i have /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward set to 1 of course.. i dont know what else to look for!!! HELP!!! :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - More reliable, more storage, less spam http://mail.yahoo.com
