Is proxy arp configured in your kernel?

BTW: Found these on the net:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp

I am unaware of any kernel compile options.. Are there any?

Quote:

You will need to set up the machine with the software mentioned above. Be sure to compile netfilter into the kernel by selecting yes for "Network Packet Filtering" under the "Networking Options" section. All of the pieces associated with netfilter are listed under "Netfilter Configuration" further down the list. It is probably easier to build each of the options into the kernel than use modules, there should be +- 22 choices to turn on.

Build your kernel, install it, and boot to make sure it functions. You should see some lines like

ip_conntrack (2046 buckets, 16368 max)
ip_tables: (c)2000 Netfilter core team

in the kernel boot messages (use dmesg if they went by too fast).
