[root@localhost ~]# ipt -t INPUT -vnL
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `INPUT': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

that's the problem is when i tried the other chain the problem still,and my firewall works well nothing wrong and any more make me dumb that when i input "ipt -L ",it works all the nat and chain was listed ,why the single could't be listed ,friends?

INPUT is a chain, not a table. The table in which the INPUT chain is is filter. So it would go like:

Code:

iptables -t filter -nvL INPUT

But since we know that filter is the default table, we can ommit it:

Code:

iptables -nvL INPUT
