Now I see what you said and it returns 2.4.7-10 and there is a file iptables.o in that folder.
It looks like it is best to run IPTables as a module at least that way I do not have to compile the kernel for IPTables updates. Is that true ? As best as I can tell I have v 1.2.3. I read somewhere that that version is buggy. I am having problems but I would prefer to first get to a good version state before I attack problems. Should I upgrade ? So then what do you think from the info I gave ? -----Original Message----- From: Jeffery P.
