This works for me, if I substitute 10.1.2.3 for your *s. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# uname -a > Linux naga.aaanime.net 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 #1 Sun Oct 2 21:26:54 UTC 2005 > x86_64 GNU/Linux for comparison, I'm running 2.6.15 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a Linux jguerin-lt 2.6.15-1-686 #1 Fri Feb 10 15:49:07 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# apt-get install iptables > Reading Package Lists...

Which modules relating to iptables do you have loaded? Also, you're sure the module is from the kernel currently running? I.e. if you've upgraded from one version of 2.6.8 to another, but not yet rebooted, you could be getting module errors. I would figure they wouldn't install, but I've never actually tried it to see what happens, so I don't know. You might try reinstalling your kernel image. Sometimes, package installations can get messed up for unknown reasons. Hope that helps, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
