You are running a preinstalled version of iptables as opposed to the version you want to run... soloution... as root do this updatedb locate iptables | grep bin you should see two completely different set of iptables (this happens when your distro installs a deb or rpm package of iptables and you latter install from source) one will prob be /sbin/iptables another might be like /usr/local/sbin/iptables maybe /usr/sbin/iptables in eaither case... unistall the distrobution's package updatedb and then locate the iptables command again Hope this helps J ===== "No touchy NO TOUCHY!
