k......so i am getting my IPtables script together and everything seems to be going fine. I decide to test it out and see what happens and this is the error that i get when i try to run ANYTHING from the iptables command.

can't initialize iptables table `filter': Module is wrong version

the version of IPtables that i am using is 1.2.5 and my kernel is 2.4.8-26mdk

this is a fresh install (only a few weeks old). i've searched google but that hasn't been much help and i've tried the various other faq's and whatnot with nothing there either. Anybody here able to give me a clue as to what is going on cause this boy is lost

either the kernel module version (from the build of the kernel module) doesn't agree with the kernel version that iptables was built with or..
the version of iptables that the module was built with doesn't agree with the version of iptables you are running...

If you built this kernel yourself, turn off the module versioning and rebuild the kernel.
