IP Tables is very modular, and the module for the filter table probably isn't loaded. Try also doing `modprobe iptable_filter'. If that doesn't work, something probably didn't get compiled. If you want to go back to IP Chains, you have to remove all of the IP Tables modules first. The kernel only allows you to have one IP filtering system loaded at once (with good reason!) Do `lsmod' and look for anything like ipt_*, iptable_*, and, obviously, ip_tables. Once they're all removed, `modprobe ipchains'. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ What would a chair look / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ like if your knees bent \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) the other way?
