Configuration questions

[bolsen]

Hello -

This is a newbie question, I've spent a couple of nights trying to cover
the RTFM bit.

I've built 0.1.18 and now .92 and haven't been able to get it to run

With the .92 release, I try to run this:

## start

## Turn on ip_forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

## Turn off rp_filtering
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

## install modules
modprobe ip_conntrack
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
modprobe iptables
modprobe ipt_state
modprobe ipt_filter

## end

Feb 25 17:12:00 c446750-a kernel: nf_iterate: NF_STOLEN for 00000000.

When I do I get tons of these (meaning several every second)
which go away when I finally rmmod'd ip_conntrack.  I had the same problems
with .18 which went away when I unloaded ip_conntrack and ip_defrag both.

/***********
 *  Does anyone have a setup that works they can post, or at least
 *  updated instructions for setting up either the .18 or the .92 releases? 
 ***********/

I've been spinning my wheels trying to set things up and am just
totally clueless.  The Quickstart and documentation have been
pretty worthless and seem woefully outdated.

Anyways, what I'm trying to do:

I have a firewall on a cable modem.  Behind it is my normal machine
connected to the firewall via matched intel etherexpress pro cards.

both systems are currently running 2.3.47.  I can boot the server
back into 2.2.12 and run ipchains, but I've been having MASSIVE
problems with hackers of late and want to not run an ancient kernel
(2.2.14 crashes the server's etherexpress pro constantly).

This message sounds confused becauese I'm confused.  I guess I'll
continue to play though.
