: Hmmmm, just had a play with the "Networking Options" under "make menuconfig"

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

Yeay, I thought about that, but I couldn't see how the original poster
could get IP masq without Network firewalls being enabled either :)

: 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"

That is an excellent point.
