Problem starting iptables on FC3

Hey Folks, 

I've got a problem trying to get iptables to startup. 

FC3
iptables-1.2.11-3.1.i386.rpm

When I try to start iptables it simply fails with no errors and nothing 
in /var/log/messages. If I try to load it after running the (fwbuilder 
generated) script it starts and the stops immediately.

I'm a bit of a novice, and not sure where to look further to resolve the 
problem. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks.
