iptables is a kernel module, not a separate process.

Either dig in "man iptables, or install shorewall, and then use
"shorewall clear" to allow all access. I suspect what you currently have,
is the equivalent of "shorewall stop", which blocks all traffic.

Note that shorewall, is just one front-end, for configuring iptables. There
are several available, like guarddog. They are just used for creating and
loading the iptables rules. They don't actually run a process, to act as
a firewall, like in windows.

Thanks Will try. However, I ran
service iptables stop
and it stated that
"Resetting built-in chains to the default ACCEPT policy:"
Also, eth0, a wired connection, works fine, which sort of suggests it is
not iptables ( although it might still be)
