Hi John,

yeah, ignore hostap-utils.
It looks like iptables is kind fo misconfiguredor modules are not there.
I've never seen this trouble in my 0.7.5 installations. Right now, I
just have a 0.8 installation to test on, but there everything is
running, as I expectitto.
So let's see, how to figure out, what you're missing. ;)

Does "dmesg" state anything about iptables?
What is the output of "lsmod | grep ip_"?
And the output of "modprobe iptable_nat" looks like?

Greets, Markus
