issue reg NATing using iptables

Greetings ,

I am trying to configure NATing with iptables on Fedora Core 6 box
with NICs.

For this I am trying to execute the command.
iptables -t NAT -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

But it gives me the following error.

""
iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `NAT': Table does
not exist (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel
needs to be upgraded.
""

I loaded the following modules .

iptable_nat 11845 0
ip_nat 22253 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat
ip_conntrack 56993 5

ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,ip_nat,ip_conntrack_net bios_ns,xt_state
nfnetlink 11353 2 ip_nat,ip_conntrack
ip_tables 17669 2 iptable_nat,iptable_filter
x_tables 18501 8
ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,ipt_REJECT,xt_state,ip_ tables,ip6t_REJECT,xt_tcpudp,ip6_tables


After loading the modules , I am still getting the same error.

Please tell me where I am wrong. Do I have to install more modules ,
if then please
let me know the name of the modules.

With thanks in Advance

iptables -t nat

(lower case)

should do the trick.
