need help with iptables Omid Ghiami 10-13-2009

Hello, I am having trouble configuring iptables on my Virtual Private
Server. It seems to ignore any line that has "-m state --state ".
Specifically, I need the line "-A INPUT -m state --state
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT" to work properly and it does not. It seems to
just ignore it and hence I have trouble accessing outside services on my
machine. Is there an alternate way to configure this line or has anyone else
come across such an issue? I am using iptables version 1.4.1.1. Thanks.

First two rules here:

iptables -A INPUT -p all -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED \
-j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p all -i lo -j ACCEPT

Order of rules matters.
