Hello sir,
i have tried to install iptables-1.3.6.tar.bz2 and than i used tar command to unzip this package.
when i used make command than these errors are coming:

(1)
renuravi@renuravi-desktop:/usr/local/src/iptables-1.3.6$ sudo make KERNEL_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.24-generic

In (2) ,i gave kernel path "/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19" so should i assume that this is
my kernel path? i m confuse since most of time kernel stay in /usr/src/linux.

and plz tell me how to resolve other problems.

is my methed right to install iptables ? if not, plz send me correct process to install iptables.
my system os is-- ubuntu-8.0
my kernel version is -- kernel-2.6.24-19


Thank you...

I believe Ubuntu comes with iptables by default. If you don't have it, you can install it by running this command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install iptables
(alternatively, open System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and search for iptables)

I have setup an the squid and squidguard but I need the bandwidth limiter and the dhcp hosting how will I setup in ubuntu...

Why did you necro a 2-year old thread? And worse yet, for an unrelated query...? Also you have failed to state your question in a comprehensible manor. I would suggest that you create a new thread and rephrase the question in a way that actually makes sense!
