IPTABLES module won't load


Hello all. I am running Mandrake 8.2 on an FTP server, but it can't seem to load the IPTABLES module for firewalling. It runs IPCHAINS just fine, and the IPTABLES package is installed (v1.2.5). When I try to call the iptables command, I get the following:

/lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

It won't load the modules manually either, giving me the same error. Any tips would be appreciated.
