Iptables error No chain/target/match by that name

greetings
I am trying to append the following rule:
iptables -A PREROUTING -d xxx.xxx.88.172 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination xxx.xxx.244.2

but I get the following error message:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

any useful suggestions on where to look for a solution?

PREROUTING is in the nat table. If no table is specified the filter table is used by default.

try:

Code:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d xxx.xxx.88.172 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination xxx.xxx.244.2
