OK, I tried that (purge/reinstall) and it did not work.

If it helps, and any one is willing to look at it, I posted some logs here:

http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~finotti/iptables/

* iptables.sh and iptables2.sh are two sets of rules that I've tried. 
(Both with the errors from the original post.)
* dmesg.out is the output of dmesg.
* log.messages is part of /var/log/messages
* depmod.ip_conntrack.error is the result of "depmod -v | grep ip_conntrack"

Does any one have any suggestion?

Best to all,

Luis
