what is the Iptable, what is for ?
It's a Firewall application

how we can start it, and stop it?
In Some Distros, It's Enabled by Default.
Although, you can enable it or disable it by executing the following commands

/etc/init.d/iptables stop

/etc/init.d/iptables start

type

man iptables
for more info.

BTW, I recommend using the Graphical Firewall called "Firestarter".

sudo apt-get install firestarter
or
use "yum" or any package manager in your distro.
