No Iptables support in my kernel 2.6.8!!!

[victora]

My kernel no have ip netfilter, iptables, etc. I've see that my kernel has very less options than kernel 2.4.x for example, and in this last appears those options for iptables firewall. Can I not recompile may kernel with this options then? Why?

i have

Device Drivers --->
Networking support --->
Networking options --->
Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) --->

but i dont have nothing with
IP: Netfilter Configuration --->

when i click Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) ---> the only thing that appears new it's

IP: Virtual Server Configuration --->

i want to install this because i am using Bastille and i have tons of error messages about iptables not installed or insmod not loaded, so iptables is only available in 2.4 kernel versions.

Highlight the line that says │ │ [*] Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains) ---> and press enter (using make menuconfig), it will take you to a new area where you can select IP: Netfilter Configuration --->.

Any thing with ---> after it means that there are more option under this one. Normally SPACE will bring you to those options except in cases like Network packet filtering where it can be select which SPACE will do, in those cases you have to use ENTER to follow it to it's options.
