iptables

[Deborah]

HI,

I'm getting this error when trying to restore my iptables:

iptables-restore v1.3.8: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat'

This is my file:

# Generated by iptables-save v1.3.8 on Wed Oct 29 11:32:31 2008
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

The 4th line of the NAT section has to be moved to the FILTER filter section (before COMMIT).
