Yeah, Modules Are Good - for you. But he said he didn't want to use modules.

So compile them in, but for some reason iptables requires that modules 
be enabled in your kernel, even if you compile them directly into the 
kernel. I ran into this problem before, and had someone tell me the 
same thing.

In make [x|menu] config, enable loadable modules, but don't actually 
configure anything as modules.

Anyway, worked for me.
