Debian 5.0.6 Iptables modules installation

AsadMoeen · 03-02-2011, 10:25 AM

Hello.

I use Debian 5.0.6 32-bit through VMware workstation installed on my Windows Server 2003. I just simply installed it from CD-1 and I use Directadmin on that.

I need a lot of iptables commands for blocking but I keep getting missing module errors on that one, I did lsmod | grep -i iptables to see there are no modules. It should have been installed by the disc image but I don't know why it didn't. So I now want to know how to get those modules required by iptables.

I'm a noob at Linux so some tutorial will be good if anyone suggests re-compiling.

Try 'grep ip /proc/modules' instead as most related LKM's start with "ipt_" or "ip_".
