thank you for your advice but you are talking about the userspace iptables. The kernel space iptables is in /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter. Buy anyway before i compile the iptables in kernel space i'm deleting all iptables: the one in /usr/sbin/iptables and the one in the kernel space... i'm positive sure that i'm not running two versions... thank you for you advice....any other ideas????? thanx X On Jul 21, "George Vieira" <georgev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Make sure you don't have 2 versions running.
