With the newly released Linux kernel 2.0.34, all the individual (ICMP, timeout, etc.) and bumper patches are obsolete. Upgrading to the latest stable kernel is highly recommended.

• There is a bug in the 2.0.x masquerade code that causes improper handling of fragments if the MTU and MRU sizes are set to different numbers, even if the ALWAYS DEFRAGMENT kernel option is set. You can either apply this MTU patch or set the MTU and MRU on your Internet connection to be equal. Thanks for John Hardin for the info.
  
  
• Precompiled version of the ipfwadm (12598 bytes). Simply gunzip and copy this file to /sbin and chmod 755 it. Or if you want to compile it yourself, here is the Ipfwadm timeout patch.

IP Masquerade for 1.2.x Kernel
