Trying to debug VMware console connection block

["Robert G. (Doc) Savage" <dsavage@peaknet.net>]

Running RHEL5 (=Fedora 6). I need to check my firewall/iptables to see what ports are actually being allowed/blocked on localhost. Firefox is sending me an error message saying connection is refused on 127.0.0.1:8333.

Not finding any clue how to list my iptables table. I'm running fail2ban so somewhere there has to be an appended list of IP addresses being blocked for attempting brute force ssh breakins. The best I can glean from man iptables is a summary rules listing:

>     # iptables -L -v
>     Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 128M packets, 42G bytes)
>      pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
>       72M 3839M fail2ban-SSH  tcp  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:ssh 
>     
>     Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
>      pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
>     
>     Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 75M packets, 221G bytes)
>      pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
>     
>     Chain fail2ban-SSH (1 references)
>      pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source               destination         
>       72M 3839M RETURN     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere   

Am I looking in the right place?
