default,  you can see your iptables rules by typing the command:

$ sudo iptables -L

you may also want to check out the ubuntu documentation, there's a ton of
information out there waiting to get explored. check this site:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo

btw, what firewall are installing? if you prefer with gui, try firestarter,
but i recommend firehol or shorewall, it is much easier to configure than
making your own iptables rules.
