Oh. :)
Shows how observant I am.
I read the Sep 26th in the NEWS section on the ipp2p.org site and because the version I compiled reported itself as v0.8.1_rc1 it didn't click with me that I had an old version.
The version I has was what POM downloaded on the day I did it.

I haven't had a go at it yet.
I'll probably look at it mid week.
I'll use your method of doing it without using POM.

In the /usr/share/doc/iptables/changelog.Debian.gz file I read the following entry:

	  * pomng kernel extensions removed upstream: IPMARK, NETLINK, TCPLAG,
	    XOR, account, condition, dstlimit, fuzzy, geoip, ip6t_ULOG, ipp2p,
	    mport, nth, osf, pool, psd, quota, random, time

And since ipp2p is listed above I figured Debian may have changed their version to not support ipp2p at all.
So I got the real iptables source code to be safe.

Thanks for your help.
I'll look at it a bit later this week using the latest ipp2p package from their web site.
Working or not, I'll post the result.

Jim.
