Were the rules set up the way you wanted before running the service command?
Yes
Did it appear to work correctly? You should get output like the following: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: [ OK ]
Yes
Did /etc/sysconfig/iptables get updated?
& Yes
Things that would cause problems are not running the command as root or not having /sbin in your path when you run the command.
I got it working by putting this command in my /etc/rc.local: /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/sysconfig/iptables Not sure why this even works, but it does... Thanks All,
