Well you could run the following command;
service iptables save
Then you could goto the following directory;
/etc/sysconfig
There you will find a file named 'iptables'. use the following command;
less iptables
You'll have to be 'su' to do all this.

Iptables takes the incoming packet and compares it to the rule list. When
a match is found it does what it is told to do with the packet i.e. DROP
ACCEPT FORWARD.
