I don't recall disabling iptables but it was turned off when I checked 
services. I ended up with the below output when trying to start iptables.

Table: filter
ERROR: 0 not a valid target)
/etc/init.d/iptables: line 274: 23989 Aborted                 $IPTABLES 
-t $table --list $NUM $VERBOSE $COUNT

Content of 274 downward:
   for table in $tables; do
	echo $"Table: $table"
	$IPTABLES -t $table --list $NUM $VERBOSE $COUNT && echo
     done
