Command run in vconsole but not in terminal emulator.

The following command, executed run without problem inside a vconsole:

   iptables -A TCP -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

But in any terminal emulator I have tested this same command produces the message: "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name."

It seems to be related to the --dport option. If I remove it, the command just run fine. If after -p tcp I add any option with double minus "--" I get this same error.

What is happening?

I have rebooted, and the problem has disapeared. No possibillity to reproduce it...
