ip_table problems

[daves debian <dave_arahan@yahoo.co.uk>]

I run kernel 2.4.19, I want to run firestarter as a GUI firewall, it needs 
IP chains enabled in the kernel

I have checked /usr/src/xxxx/Documentation
zip

I have read man ipchains
zip of use

I finaly tracked down an article telling me what modules to enable, I have
in Network options

M	Packet socket
M	Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)
*	Socket filtering
*	Unix domain socket - BOY did I miss this one when I forgot it !!
*	TCP?IP network

In netfilter configuration I have

M	IP table support

M	For all the modules down to ARP table support, this one I
	have left blank

I boot the machine

debian:/home/test# modprobe ip_tables
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol 
nf_unregister_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: unresolved symbol 
nf_register_sockopt
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables 
failed
debian:/home/test#

every time !!!
I tried compiling IP table support directly into the kernel,
firestarter then says it cant find the module, not suprising realy ..

I have tried various combinations of modules and compiled in modules,
the same result

Any ideas ....
All help much appreciated
