It's a possibility.  Try enabling IP_MASQUERADE_ICMP (you'll need to turn on
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL first, though) if you're running ip_masq.  Otherwise, a
little bit of info about your system config would be appreciated - we're not
mind readers, you know.

Yes there is.  It's .config, and the first rule of kernel compiles is:

Thou shalt not edit .config directly.

We have tools for this sort of thing.  Use them.
