I would run the following commands:

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -F

This is because some distros may set the default policy on each chain to 
DROP, in order to deal with traffic which doesn't have a specific rule.

Red Hat (and derivatives) have a separate catch-all rule, and default 
ACCEPT policies, but you don't mention which distro you're using so I 
thought it was worth mentioning.
