Actually I run IP MASQ and these modules are loaded automagically when needed by the kernel. I have no Kerneld or any other things loaded. Following the (IP Firewall/Gateway HOWTO) I think) got me through. although I found myself running in circles trying to find what I needed. Try http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux/firewall/ they have a REALLY NEAT (tm) web Interface that provides you with a script that sets up the firewall and everything for you.
