Firewall was set to disabled!

Mine was st to:
[root at mars ~]# chkconfig --list iptables
iptables        0:off   1:off   2:on    3:off   4:on    5:off   6:off

WORKED!
I remember when I installed FC3, I specifically disabled the firewall.
 I guess this is what caused iptables not to start on level 3 & 5.  I
also noticed that the firewall service was still diabled after reboot.

THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM!  Many Thanks!
