Not sure if this has been aswered yet: NAT is the new paradigm for IP Masquerading in the latest kernel (2.3.34>). It will be the replacement of IP Chains in the 2.4 kernel when it is released.
NAT is short for Network Address Translation. Currently it *only* works with 2.3 kernels. So the stock kernel for Suse will not work.
What you mean is called 'netfilter', which implements, among other things, a framework for NAT, where misc. NAT modules (n:1 translation is widely known as 'masquerading') can be plugged in. Netfilter is _not_ just a replacement for the masquerading code, and it is a framework for many things, not just NAT. -- Michael Hasenstein http://www.suse.de/~mha/ Private Pilot (ASEL) since 1998 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
