As root do the following;

chkconfig --level 345 iptables on

This will start iptables when boot into runlevels 3 4 and 5.

service iptables start

Will start iptables.

Make sure you have a rule set setup for this. Check /etc/sysconfig for
iptables.

If you need help setting up a rule set let me know and I will help you.
