You mention recompiling the kernel -- you might want to recompile the
userland as well to ensure that you have matching versions of the userland
and kernel NAT stuff.  NAT works on my Cobalt, running a year-old -current
tree (just to encourage you to keep plugging away).

If you're still having problems, you might want to post the ipnat.conf and
ipf.conf files you are using.

Good luck,
