"Incompatible with this kernel" for ipchains seems so that you have compiled Netfilter stuff into your kernel. "itself or the kernel needs upgrading" for iptables seems so that you either haven't compiled netfilter as module(s) or static into the kernel and forgot something in the kernel config. > I haven't been able to find any actual solutions off google for this... a > few people mention the same problem but no fixes. Can someone point this > rookie in the right direction to fix my packet filters? :-) Check your kernel config. "make menuconfig" or "xconfig" and goto: Networking options ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration ---> and look if you did it properly. -- Kind regards Marc-Christian Petersen http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk PGP/GnuPG Key: 1024D/569DE2E3DB441A16 Fingerprint: 3469 0CF8 CA7E 0042 7824 080A 569D E2E3 DB44 1A16 Key available at www.keyserver.net.
