Ok, currently I have my Gentoo box set up as a gateway for a Windows 98 box. Everything works, can ping both machines from each other, internet sharing works through dhcp and I have filesharing set up as well. However, this only works on the 2.4.19 gentoo sources kernel. I am trying to upgrade the system to the 2.4.20 kernel and everything goes ok, but I end up with iptables errors at boot and nat forwarding (internet sharing) no longer works, even though I never changed any iptables rules. If I got back to the older kernel, then the errors go away. Here is my /etc/conf.d/net contents:

Code:

iface_eth1="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0"
iface_eth0="dhcp"

# Net Sharing
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j LOG --log-level 4 --log-prefix "ATTACK"
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j DROP


Did the iptables rules setup change for the newer kernel? Do I need to re-emerge iptables or something? Oh I should also mention that I used the exact same kernel config file when compiling the newer kernel as well, so all the needed modules etc. should be loaded properly.

To answer a few questions beforehand, no I didn't try any other kernels yet (vanilla, red-hat, etc), and I really have no reason to upgrade to the newer kernel other than to keep the system up to date.

Perhaps posting the errors could be interesting.

When you compiled the 2.4.20, did you forget to run "make modules" and "make modules_install"? Is your /etc/modules.conf (actually /etc/modules.d) current?

If you emerge the new kernel, there is a small note, that you should re-emerge iptables if you get errors like "illegal argument" (?). So, try re-emerging iptables.

I was going to post the errors but I forgot what they were exactly. I believe that the were "illegal argument", that sounds very farmiliar. I'll try re-emerging iptables and post results.
