Xen users - Feb 2007 - Re: PROBLEM WITH DOMU and DOM0 has no IPTABLES **SOLUTION**

I finally worked out why I had no support for IPTABLES.

 Following the instructions is a bit incomplete:
 Networking ---> Networking options ---> [*] Network packet filtering 
(replaces ipchains) ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration ---> <M> IP
tables
support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)

*you need to do one more step:*
 turning on <M> IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT) 
isn''t enough
 you have to actually enable the type of IPtables support you want
 I don''t know what I need so turned most on (*or <M> as module*)

eg.
         
   <M>IP range match 
support

   <M>   Multiple port match 
support

   <M>   TOS match 
support

   <M>   recent match 
support

   <M>   ECN match 
support

   <M>   DSCP match support        


Perhaps this is obvious to people more skilled in customising/compiling 
their own kernels.
But to me it wasn''t and I assume from the number of similar questions 
not to alot of people either.

So I hope this saves somebody a bit of pain.
