    Hi,

    I am trying to install iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2 on Linux 8.0 server.

    I have downloaded iptables-1.2.8.tar.bz2 file from netfilter downloads to /root/iptables-1.2.8 directory. 

    by using command 

    "tar -xf iptables-1.2.8.tar"

    it has created iptables-1.2.8 directory in which all files are extracted.

After this you have to compile the iptables. 

    I don't know how to go further.

    I tried make and make install.

    Then when i gave command "/etc/rc.d/rc.local"

    it gives following error.

Tell me what this file contais. Is this a script which has iptables rules?

    "[root@xyz iptables-1.2.8]# /etc/rc.d/rc.local

    SIOCDELRT: No such process

    RTNETLINK answers: File exists

    SIOCADDRT: File exists

    SIOCADDRT: File exists

    iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `-nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

    Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

    How to go ahead now?

    Thanks
