Hi again!
I'm at a loss here, newbie as I am. My 'lsmod, modprobe' commands are
located in '/sbin/' and if you don't have them we need some guru help.
But, by using 'modprobe ip_tables' and 'modprobe iptable_nat' you're ment to
test your initial iptables-1.25 installation. Later you need to edit
'/etc/modules.conf' and put in 'alias iptable_nat' and 'alias ip_tables' and
so on (you don't need to do them all since some of them loads others). Maybe
you can try this and restart? For some reason though, I start my iptables
modules from /etc/rc.d/rc.local with the modprobe command.
I would be glad if someone more experienced would shed some light on the
matter! At least with the missing commands!
Sorry about the late answer, but we have a time difference...
Best Regards,
Ake Svensson
