after this command it says that "...nothings to do". Do you have any

thanks a lot....
It is most likely installed as this is default unless you tell the install
program not to install it.
To start IPTALBES:
service iptables start
To ensure it starts all the time on reboot:
chkconf --level 2345 iptables on
that doesn't actually 'start iptables', rather that sets it so the
system firewall scripts are run at startup.
/sbin/iptables isn't actually a service, its a command line tool for
manipulating and displaying the kernel firewall rule tables. the
/etc/init.d/iptables 'service' script runs the rules scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and -config files, which in turn are configured
by lokkit or whatever.
anyone building custom firewall rules, with smoothwall or whatever, will
probably use a different startup script... I frequently call mine
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall and invoke it from my own /etc/init.d/firewall
'service' entry.
