You could (as root) try running /etc/init.d/iptables. I believe that you then see some possible parameters, one of which is clear. If I'm right, run /etc/init.d/iptables clear, and see if that helps. Assuming that iptables is being set up on boot by /etc/init.d/iptables, it shouldn't be too hard to work out how to save the clear ruleset for future boot.That did it! Thanks Antony.
read /etc/default/iptables You will probably find /etc/init.d/iptables is orphaned.
