Dear Group,

I am getting the following whenever I tried to do any operation with iptables.

% iptables -L

iptables v1.2.7a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do 
you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

% rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-2.4.20-28.9
kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-28.9
kernel-doc-2.4.20-28.9
kernel-source-2.4.20-28.9

% lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
e1000                  54528   1 
ext3                   61280   2 
jbd                    46804   2  [ext3]
3w-xxxx                36192   3 
sd_mod                 11916   6 
scsi_mod               63416   2  [3w-xxxx sd_mod]

How do I get this resolved? It seems the problem is after I upgraded the 
kernel. I am running RH 9.

Thanks,
Prince.
