I had this message when executing iptables from the command line.
Code:
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.2.11: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.


What do I need to do to fix this matter?

Thnx in advance.

try:

insmod ip_tables

if it fails, you need to build the module or compile it hard into your kernel

The relevent kernel options to enable can be found here I believe:

Device Drivers -> Networking Support -> Networking Options -> Network Packet Filtering -> IP: Netfilter Configuration
