when i click on linux firewall in webmin this is what shows up

An error occured when checking your current IPtables configuration :

/lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
/lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o: insmod ip_tables failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
iptables v1.2.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?)

voidmain:
It's not always necessary and you may have mentioned this before but it would be nice to get as much info as possible in the first message of a new thread.  Things like, which distro and version you are using.  You may have mentioned it but I have a short memory.

I just went into the firewall configuration in webmin v1.000-1 on RedHat 7.3 with no problem. I know that doesn't help you but knowing the distro, version and webmin version might. And whether you have iptables installed.

Actually I believe I remember you saying you had RedHat 7.3. If that is so it appears that you must have upgraded your kernel as the stock kernel that comes with 7.3 is 2.4.18-3 and you are showing 2.4.18-10. Did you do an upgrade or recompile of your kernel?

i did an upgrade of redhat 7.3 with the auto updater and i have the latest webmin
with all modules up to date

It may be that you have ipchains loaded already.  

Try

/sbin/lsmod |less

and check every module that you have loaded.

Ok, hopefully you can answer the following questions. First type this:

# /sbin/lsmod | grep table

If iptables is loaded you should get one or more modules listed in when executing the above command. The modules might include:

ip_tables
iptable_nat
iptable_mangle
iptable_filter

Do you get any of the above?  If you do not type this:

# /sbin/lsmod | grep chain

Do you get any output from the above command?

If you get no output from either command type this:

# /sbin/service iptables start

Do you get any errors? If not again, run the command:

# /sbin/lsmod | grep table

Do you now get output?

If not type:

# /sbin/insmod ip_tables

Do you get any errors?
