Hi,

you can simply check our kernel config by typing:

  cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i conntrack

IIRC, there should be the lines

 CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED=m
 CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m
 CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=m

with either 'm' or 'y'.

Sometimes the order of enabling functions in the kernel matter to see all iptables
options. The conntrack options are located under

Networking -> Networking support -> Networking options -> Network packet filtering
framework (Netfilter) -> Core Netfilter -> Configuration -> Netfilter Xtables support
(required for ip_tables) -> "conntrack" connection tracking match support.

Hope you can guess what it want to say - english isn't my native lang, and it is early in
the morning ;)

Best regards,

Johann
