[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and
Unix-related topics. ]

Hmmmm, just had a play with the "Networking Options" under "make menuconfig"
(I'm sorry, but tcl/tk is just such a dog on a P133 so I never use xconfig
!)

"[*] IP: always defragment (required for masquerading)" only shows up if
"[*] Network firewalls" is enabled.

Oh, and you are enabling packet forwarding after booting?  Do a "cat
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to check.  It should return 1, if you get 0,
then it's not enabled.  To enable it, do "echo 1 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"

Cheers
Michael A.
