Problem with connection tracking in IPtables!!


Hi to all,

I am using Fedora Core 5 with an upgraded kernel of 2.6.20.4. I installed iptables-1.3.7 on it. However, I am not able to use connection tracking. I checked all the items in Networking options related to connection tracking and iptables. However, when I boot in my 2.6.20.4 kernel, and issue the comand "service iptables start", I get this:
Quote:
[root@localhost ~]# service iptables start
Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: raw mangle filter [ OK ]
Unloading iptables modules: [ OK ]
Applying iptables firewall rules: [ OK ]
Loading additional iptables modules: ip_conntrack_netbios_n[FAILED]

[root@localhost ~]# locate ip_conntrack_netbios
/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_netbios_ns.ko
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20.4/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_netbios_ns.c
[root@localhost ~]#
It seems that connection tracking is not being activated. How can I solve this problem?

Warm regards,
Visham

You seem not to have enabled the ip_conntrack_netbios_ns module when you compiled your kernel. Go back and enable CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS and recompile your modules and reinstall them.

Posting a single thread makes it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is basically the same issue as this one.
