Re: [Xen-users] FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.

[Julius Spencer <julius@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just had this problem. When you compile your dom0 kernel you need to 
include IP tables modules. These can be found when configuring your 
kernel with:
make menuconfig

from in the dom0 kernel directory. The location of the modules is under:

Networking  ---> Networking options  --->  Network packet filtering
(replaces ipchains)  --->  Core Netfilter Configuration  --->  Netfilter
Xtables support (required for ip_tables) and do enable all modules
included in that as per your need.

Then go to - Networking  ---> Networking options  --->  Network packet
filtering (replaces ipchains)  ---> IP: Netfilter Configuration  ---> IP 
tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
(Thanks to Sadique who found this).
