    Bill, I did a google search for the error and found this suggestion that
    the user that had the problem said worked for him.

    ------------------

    service ipchains stop
    chkconfig --level 345 ipchains off
    rmmod ipchains

    insmod ip_tables
    chkconfig --level 345 iptables on

    ------------------

    Looks like ipchains is fighting with iptables and can't be loaded at the
    same time? You probably have to remove the old to add ipchains service
    to add the iptables service.

    As to the PREROUTING rules. The rules look ok for boxes connecting to
    the echolink box from the outside, but you have to add a rule for the
    internal boxes trying to get to the echolink box so your source and
    desitination IP addresses are not the same after they are Masqueraded.
    You can make sure the internal boxes know about the echolink box by
    adding a resolvable name to your hosts file on your 98 boxes that tells
    the internal interface to talk to the echolink box with (so you don't do
    a resolve to the external routeable IP and end up with the situation
    that the source IP = destination IP after Masq operation).

    Hope this makes sense, and or helps you.
