hi
thanx for responding. some info to you all...
the linux box with 2.4.19 kernel & iptables 1.2.7a has 768mb ram its 
ip_conntrack_max shows 48632.
moreover the ip(=>> ipA) in the message file is a valid ip and not a 
private one & its going to a valid ip in internet.
the very interesting & confusing part for me(& hope for others?? ) is 
why a day ago with iptables 1.2.6a there was no error message ???.. as i 
mentioned in last mail the only difference is that i have as module--> 
ip_nat_h323.o & also ipt_helper.o
one last info to add here---why only this message for >>ipA<< when the 
box is handling more than 500 valid ip & above 200 private ip( of 10 
series),..slabinfo shows...
ip_conntrack        5150   6660    320  490  555  1

pls i need help to know where things went wrong for me.. if someone else 
have experienced the same can they give their experience/suggestions ??
thanx in anticipation...
