Masquerading problem

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a simple masquerade for my iPaq on ppp0, but my iptables appears to be broken.

Even the most simple, single line masquerading gateway failes:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE

results in:

iptables: Invalid argument

I've checked that iptable_nat, ipt_MASQUERADE and so on are loaded with lsmod, and all the other iptables stuff works. It's just this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Re-emerge/update your iptables with emerge iptables.
