okay thanks for the wonderful replies.
I am starting off on this. I see that the module is not loaded.
currently have the 2.4.20-20.8 kernel on an i386 machine. how can I quickly get the iptables module installed?
I dont have the kernel source. so do I need to download it or is there some other way to get the iptables module enabled?
My version of Red Hat 7.2 came with iptables already precompiled and ready to install. If you are sure they are missing from your system (does "insmod ip_tables" do anything?), then I'd check the cd first. Look in /lib/modules/2*/kernel/net/ipv4 for the ip_tables.o file (or that's where it is on my system).
I just called my scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc.local which is what I think the guide suggests. After that the rc.firewall script worked for me, and I started modifying it to suite my environment.
