Nightmare - IPTABLES / Shorewall


Hello,

I recently found out that Shorewall is not running on my new Mandrake 9 install. I have tried shorewall show and I get

==========
Shorewall-1.3.7c Chain at ugodev.u-go.co.uk - Mon Jan 27 09:54:05 GMT 2003

/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz failed
modprobe: insmod ip_tables failed
iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

==========

So then I try looking at iptables -L

iptables v1.2.6a: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

===========

I tried insmod iptable_filter but this does;

/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_filter.o.gz: unresolved symbol ipt_do_table_R1d0146ba


Help desperately required - our box is off the net.
