config NF_CONNTRACK_ENABLED
tristate "Netfilter connection tracking support"
help
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
Address Translation (except for Fast NAT). It can also be used to
enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'
below).

software including voice gateways, IP phones, Netmeeting, OpenPhone,
Gnomemeeting, etc.
With this module you can support H.323 on a connection tracking/NAT
firewall.
This module supports RAS, Fast Start, H.245 Tunnelling, Call
Forwarding, RTP/RTCP and T.120 based audio, video, fax, chat,

There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.

config NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS
tristate "NetBIOS name service protocol support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && NF_CONNTRACK
help
NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an
unprivileged port and responded to with unicast messages to the
same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
of "ip address show" should look similar to this:
$ ip -4 address show eth0
4: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

Protocol, RFC2637) connection tracking and NAT.
If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
box, you may want to enable this feature.
Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
Specifically these limitations exist:
- Blindy assumes that control connections are always established
in PNS->PAC direction. This is a violation of RFC2637.
