My server is driveing me crazy

[vit.soucek]

Hi

I'm trying to turn my gentoo server (intel Celeron 1,8Ghz, 256MBRAM, 2*3COM gigabit NIC....) to be conected to internet via UMTS(T-Mobile 4G) with PPPoe modem and share this internet connection to other comps in my network using iptables.

It was nearly working (PPPoe was connected but iptables rules was not working) iptables prompted me that kernel or iptables are about to be updated so I updated both. reconfigured all kernel setings same as before and.....

... and nothing seems working

dmesg:

given all the 'unknown' errors to commands that look entirely legit, I would say there probably is something else that needs to be compiled into the kernel. If you've got things setup as modules, make sure all the appropriate ones are loaded. If you do have things setup as modules, you might try compiling them in (*) as opposed to (M) and see what happens [in the case you are unsure which modules to load]


IIRC as of the latest kernel there is a bunch of optional stuff you can compile in related to iptables. I think most of it was for optional statistics and metrics, but you might check it out.

hmmm.

well you might checkout dmesg.

The other possibility is that to compile those modules portage goes to /usr/src/linux and you are using a newer/different kernel and haven't updated the symlink so the code isn't compiled from the proper kernel source.

hi!

could you please post your complete kernel config so we can check it for kernel config errors...
it might also help to recompile rp-pppoe package but i am not sure.

Hi All-

I seem to be having the exact same issue(with iptables anyway). Hopefully any ideas given will help the both of us.

Cheers,
