What sort of iptables rules are you running as well. It could be that you're denying all inbound traffic on accident, (I did this once and was frustrated for days lol). Assuming that iptables is set up correctly and your forwards are correct, and the masquerading is right. You'll need some or all of the following modules installed: ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_irc ip_nat_irc ip_conntrack_ftp <---- for ftping not specific to irc support. If your machines can get out to the internet without a problem, then I believe that these will be all the modules you really need in order to get your irc stuff working. I have however, been mistaken before. hehe HTH Alex -- We don't have a great war in our generation, or a great depression, but we do, we have a great war of the spirit.
