how to get iptables and nat working?
Seems some modules are missing by default, and reading around the forum here I noticed this thread: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29947&p=165472&hilit=iptables#p165472 but there's some unanswered questions there.
Is it possible to get NAT working on my Ultra 4? I tried this command, but note the errors:

# iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.4.8: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

- I should clarify that I don't actually need help with iptables itself, I'm comfortable writing the actual firewall rules etc, it's the kernel side of things I haven't had much to do with. Just need to get the NAT and modules stuff sorted.
Any ideas? - If I tried recompiling the kernel with the same options but enable the iptables nat config options, would that work or break things?
- Are my questions too dumb? Feels like I'm talking to myself here, and parents' always told me that was the first sign on insanity :)
