i *think*, but might be wrong, that iptables can only be used with 2.4+ kernels, as that was where netfilter came in. on 2.2 you should be using ipchains, whch is very similar

I definately know you can't use iptables with a 2.2.x series kernel. With Slack 8 you have all the modules compiled to use ipchains, which is the MASQ/Nat routing stuff for 2.2.x

Acid_kewpie is dead on.

man ipchains, or post what you need here or in the Security forum and they can help...
