Also, download and compile the latest iptables binaries, I think they are
at version 1.2 now.

I'm running RedHat 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2.  Does anyone know how to enable
iptables instead of the default ipchains.

I am trying to set up a firewall for a small business network 2 nics,
eth0-internet, eth1 - LAN.  I'd like to begin using iptables,but am unsure
how to enable iptables.  If I run command:

iptables -L

I get:

/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module:
Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.2-2/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables
failed
iptables v1.2.1a: can't initialize iptables table `nat': iptables who? (do
you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

ipchains -L works fine so it is up and running...

any help would be GREAT!
