When I try to use iptables command on one of my Rackspace cloud server, I'm getting the following error.

In an attempt to apply iptables rules with iptables-apply -t 120 /etc/iptables.rules and iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules I got the next error:

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35.4-rscloud/modules.dep: No such file or directory
iptables-restore v1.4.4: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'filter'

Error occurred at line: 2
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.

How do I fix this?
