It is 'nat.cc', not 'net.cc', but the fact that you thought it would be
'net.cc' and the error message leads me to the conclusion that you have
somehow deleted the file 'emulate/nat.cc' during your modifications. I
have no clue how you could have done that, but that seems to be the
problem. The only solution that I see is that you download ns again and
extract the 'nat.cc' file from it. Of course, first you should check if
I am wrong and you do have 'nat.cc' somewhere. :)

I hope that helps,

Marc
