I can't comment on the 6x86 CPU being recognised as 486, but I can say
this about the firewalling code. I believe a) the forwarding policies have
changed, to where you have to enable it in the /proc filesystem. I believe you
need to do an "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" to enable it.
b) when you say Y to IP Firewalling and/or Masquerading, take a\ look
at the help for it. It should inform you that you need to be using IPChains,
as the whole firewalling/masquerade code was rewritten. It should also tell
you where it's at. I'm not sure of the exact site, but it should be at
adelaide.edu.au, if that helps. This was changed, I believe, as of 2.1.103.
The IP Forwarding, I think was changed in the 2.1.90 series, but i am not real
sure on that, so don't quote me. ;)
But give these a shot, and see what you can see. TIA!
