Iptables and my kernel :/

[darigaz]

Hey mates,

First of all, I'm pretty new to gentoo, but I have some experience with other distros...

well, that's my problem:
I made a stage 3 install from the livecd to my homeserver. The server should act as a firewall, router, webserver, ftp and things like that.
When I wanted to use iptables for the first time, it didn't work because some modules weren't compiled in my kernel. So I tried to include the iptables modules in my kernel using this tutorial:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Iptables_for_newbies

but it didnt work

so I decided to compile a completely new kernel, that includes iptables as a modul. I used genkernel to compile it and everything should be right, according to the tutorial
but when I do modprobe ip_tables I still get

I'd go back to the hand-built kernel. Make sure you select all the options for starters, you can remove some later once it works. Compile them into the kernel. Why build as modules and load when you are at the beginning?
