You probably have an ipchains firewall setup. You can use either ipchains or iptables, but not both. If you are using the default firewall included with Red Hat Linux 7.2, it is ipchains based. You can configure it by running /usr/sbin/lokkit as root. You can convert to iptables, which will require stopping ipchains with: /sbin/service ipchains stop Prevent ipchains from starting on reboot with: /sbin/chkconfig ipchains off Remove all ipchains related modules: /sbin/rmmod ipchains (/sbin/lsmod to list all loaded modules. You'll have to remove all ipchains related modules.) /sbin/modprobe ip_tables should now load the ip_tables module without complaint. You can then begin configuring an iptables based firewall. Note that after doing the above to stop ipchains, your machine will be wide open to abuse untill the new firewall is up and running. You can search the list archives for iptables firewall related links.
