Hi!

After having modified a few things in the nat part of the iptables code, 
I was sent back to an old problem:

modprobe: Can't locate module ip_tables
iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables 'nat': Table does not exist 
(do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel need to be upgraded.

I can't remember exactly when did the problem appear, but it may have 
been after I had added something in ip_conntrack_standalone.c
Anyway, I compiled again, again and again until now when I have a brand 
new kernel (2.4.23) and iptables library (1.2.9, patched) compiled. 
Still, I cannot get rid of that error. Moreover, if I try manually to 
load ip_tables I also get an error

insmod: ip_tables: no module by that name found

while the module ip_tables.o exists. insmod finds without problem the 
other modules like for example ipt_REDIRECT, ip_conntrack, iptable_nat...

Any advice about that?
