nat table not working with 'iptables -L nat'

nat table not working with 'iptables -L nat'

[Stuart Clark]

Hi

When I try and add a rule to the nat table it seems to work but when I
do 'iptables -L nat' I get the error 

'iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)'

All the other tables are there when I do 'iptables -L' but no nat table.

How can I get this working?

I don't want to recompile the kernel

try:

    iptables -t nat -L

to specify that you want to list the NAT table.

Try "iptables -t nat -L" or "iptables -t nat -nvL"

The default table is Filter, so when you do iptables -L, in reality, iptables
execute "iptables -t filter -L . The Prerouting/Postrouting rules of the nat
table must be accessed using iptables -t nat...
