Re: [Xen-users] PROBLEM WITH DOMU and DOM0 has no IPTABLES **SOLUTION**

[Sean Reilly <sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
