Subject: iptables-restore v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) <<Help>>

Hi,

I switched from ipchains to iptables. But whenever I start iptables it gives
me this error.

iptables-restore v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `': Table does not
exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

lsmod shows that
iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,ip_conntrack,iptable_filter and iptables are
loaded.
That means the modules for iptables has loaded also I can see that modules
for ipchains are not loaded and that is right.

The iptables file is in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
The table goes like this
-P INPUT DROP
-A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
.......
...........
........................
I am using RedHAt 7.1 and kernel 2.4.2-2
What could be the problem?

regards
Krishna
