iptables are enabled for coLinux 0.7.2, 0.7.3 and 0.8.0
Check, that you have modules installed right. If not, do it manualy:

  tar -xzf modules-*.tgz -C /

The modules you will find in your Windows installation path as file
vmlinux-modules.tar.gz

I don't know what you are missing. I have modules for iptables.
Perhaps you need an "modprobe ip_tables" or such things?

Try this in your running coLinux:

# zgrep IPTABLES < /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m
CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES=m

# modprobe ip_tables
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ip_tables              12488  0
x_tables               15748  1 ip_tables
