Hi all:

I am trying to install IP MASQ into a system with kernel 2.2.13
installed.  Every resources that I read about requires the component
"IP: always defragment (required for masquerading)" to be compiled into
the kernel.  However, I tried so hard to look for this option in the
xconfig menu to no avail.  I remember that kernel 2.2.10 did have this
component under network options.  Is it removed from 2.2.13?  Or am I
missing something?

Thanks very much in davance.

Patrick.

Upon quickly browsing the options for the kernel in xconfig, I don't see
anything there.  I'd recomend checking out the IP-MASQ HOWTO at
http://www.veryComputer.com/(dot)net/, or at the Linux Documentation Project at
http://www.veryComputer.com/;I remember reading something about this in
there.

Before you buy.

If you look in

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/ide.txt
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/lang/en/Configure.help
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt

You'll see what you're looking for.

 The IP masquerading code will only work if IP forwarding is enabled
  in your kernel; you can do this by saying Y to "/proc
  filesystem support" and "Sysctl support" below and then executing a
  line like

    echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

  from a boot time script after the /proc filesystem has been mounted.

  Enabling masquerading automagically enables ip_always_defrag too.
