Kernel and ipchains
 

hi,

im trying to use the ipchains tool to give instructions to my
Kernel 2.4. When trying this: ipchains -L input, it tells me the following:

incompatible with this kernel

know of any patch or something?

thanks for u time

i got ipchains 1.3.10 1-sep-2000



:newbie:

i believe that you probably dont have ipchains support compiled into your kernel. try using iptables.

i think ipchains is pretty much retired now, its iptables in newer kernels.

how_?
 

yes,

i don't know if ipchains is compiled into my kernel.

can i use iptables instead? does iptables work with the same funtions ?

or maybe upgrade the ipchains tool?

thanks for u reply

Looks very similar but gives more flexibility. Read this.

it was really helpful,

i'll come up with other questions next time.

try 'modprobe -a ipchains'
