Subject:   Getting IPFW to work

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am trying to get NATD/IPFW to run correctly and am having some trouble,
when trying to pass a rule, any rule, to IPFW I get "IPFW:
getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): protocol not available".  My system configuration is
as follows:

Pentium 166mmx w/ 32MB RAM, FreeBSD4.2RELEASE running a GENERIC kernel with
options IPFIREWALL, IPFIREWALL_FORWARD, and IPDIVERT compiled in.

So far I have tried:
cvsupped and build world,
recompiled kernel multiple times with new config files,
format/reinstall

An example IPFW rule hat generates this error (all do) is "/sbin/ipfw add
pass all from any to any"

What can I do to fix this?

Thank You,
JEremy
