server6:~# iptables -I INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
server6:~# iptables -I OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

You get this error message because the module ipt_state is not loaded. However I am afraid that the real problem is that this module is not being loaded, and I have no idea why not. You could try to modprobe ipt_state to load it.

Hi,

Thanks for your fast response, i found out the modprobe ipt_state was not installed

Thanks again..
